More than a dozen people suffered minor injuries when a tram used for tours crashed into a railing at Universal Studios Hollywood near Los Angeles, authorities and the company said.

Los Angeles County Fire Department units responded to the theme park in Universal City, about 10 miles (16km) northwest of downtown LA, shortly after 9pm on Saturday, the agency said in a social media post.
