DALLAS, TEXAS

The driver of a Mitsubishi vehicle was hospitalized after crashing into a DART train near Metropolitan Avenue Wednesday afternoon. His condition was unknown.

DART spokesman Mark Ball said the driver tried to cross the tracks before the train but fell short. The Mitsubishi flipped after colliding with the northbound Green Line train at 2:10 p.m.

Metropolitan Avenue intersects with the DART Green Line track between the Hatcher and MLK stations. DART rail service between those stations was briefly halted.

Shuttle bus service began shortly after the accident but was canceled after roughly 20 minutes, according to alerts sent out by DART.

No passengers on the train were injured in the crash. Full Green Line train service has resumed.
