A motorist who apparently cut in front of a Metro Blue Line train Thursday suffered a minor injury when the two vehicles collided in downtown Los Angeles, officials said.

The crash occurred shortly after 10 a.m. near 12th and Flower streets as the southbound train approached the Pico Station, said Rick Jager, spokesman for the Southern California Rapid Transit District.

Paramedics treated the person at the scene, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Bob Collis.
