One hospitalized in three-car crash on TRAX rail line

SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — A crash involving three cars breifly blocked the Green Line TRAX near the Salt Lake International Airport early Friday morning, Nov. 8.

The Salt Lake City Police Department said it started investigating the crash shortly before 6 a.m. near 2400 West and North Temple. Details on the crash are limited but photos from the crash reveal a blue sedan crashed into the back of an SUV. A third photo shows a maroon van with extensive damage to its passenger side stopped on the Green Line rails.
