Sound Transit Light Rail was back in operation Wednesday morning following a major collision involving an SUV and a train in Seattle’s SODO neighborhood Tuesday night.
Officials responded to an incident on South Holgate Street at 6th Avenue South near the train tracks about 8:30 p.m.
The driver of a Chevy Tahoe was traveling at a high speed, went around a vehicle stopped at the crossing, and hit the train, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
Passengers said the vehicle collided with the Sound Transit train in a spot where luggage and bikes are stored. There were no seats at the spot of the crash.
About 10 people were on board at the time of the crash.
