Man Hit By Metro Train In South Central LA

LOS ANGELES, CA — A male pedestrian was hospitalized with unknown injuries Saturday evening when he was struck by a Metro A Line train in the Historic South-Central area of Los Angeles.

The crash occurred about 8 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Maple Avenue, LA Metro spokesman Dave Sotero told City News Service.

Sotero referred to the pedestrian as a "trespasser." His age was not available.

"Metro reminds everyone that rail safety is a shared responsibility and encourages the public to observe rail safety guidance, including maintaining a safe distance from rail cars at all times," Sotero said.

The injured pedestrian was taken to a hospital by ambulance, he said.

Bus shuttles took passengers between the Grand and San Pedro stations during the investigation, according to a Metro post on X.
