More than a dozen people were injured Saturday in a trolley accident at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Crews from the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the scene, located at 3900 Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood, around 9 p.m. Saturday.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department investigators say there are 14 to 15 injuries, and despite earlier reports, none appear to be critical and all are non-life threatening.

They believe the crash may have been caused by some sort of mechanical failure.

SkyCal flew over the scene, where a group of people could be seen being treated by paramedics. A separate larger group moved away from the tram and loaded onto a bus.

“There was a trolley incident at the theme park tonight that resulted in multiple minor injuries, confirmed by the LA County Fire Department,” a statement from Universal Studios Hollywood officials said. “We are working to support our guests and understand the circumstances that led to the accident.”

This is a developing story. Check back for details.
