An automobile versus a light rail train at northbound Speer at Stout has complicated traffic downtown. Luckily there were no injuries. Expect delays & avoid area if possible. DFD Crews are assisting @DenverPolice & @RideRTD with the investigation for a while longer. #Drivesafe pic.twitter.com/LZgo5cQPnt
