PHOENIX, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- The 8-month-old light rail line in Phoenix had its worst accident Saturday when a train derailed after hitting an SUV that had run a red light, officials said.
The impact knocked the train from the tracks, The Arizona Republic reported.
Police said the driver of the SUV and a passenger on the train were injured. The crash also knocked down electrical poles, disrupting light rail service.
Bus service was temporarily substituted for the light rail.
The 20-mile-long light rail line runs between Phoenix and the suburbs of Tempe, home of the University of Arizona and the Phoenix airport, and Mesa. It began operating Dec. 27.
