Just a week before its grand opening, a train on the Exposition Metro Line collided with a car this morning during a test run.
The car was making a left turn into the USC campus on Watt Way when it was t-boned by the train.
The driver of the car was immediately transported to California Hospital. His condition has not yet been released.
Luis Inzunza, a Metro employee, says the operator of the Metro train was not injured.
"When it's a train versus an automobile, the car always loses," Inzunza said.
Metro says the line will still be open as scheduled on April 28th.
