A tram accident at Universal Studios Hollywood left 15 injured.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department was called to the theme park shortly after 9pm local time on Saturday.
He said 15 people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.
The accident occurred when the last carriage of one of the trams collided with a metal guardrail, which caused it to “tilt and eject several passengers”, the California Highway Patrol said.
The Highway Patrol said some of the injuries were “moderate,” but did not specify how many.
Trams are used to take park visitors on behind-the-scenes tours of the sets where some of Universal’s biggest movies and TV shows were filmed.
Sheriff’s Lt. Maria Abal suggested the four-car trolley may have had problems with its brakes.
Alcohol and drugs were not considered a factor, said the Highway Patrol, which is leading the investigation.
A Universal Studios spokesperson told the Associated Press there were “multiple minor injuries” but did not provide details about the accident.
