Over a dozen people were injured after a tram incident at Universal Studios Hollywood on Saturday night. The tram was carrying numerous passengers late into the evening, around 9:00 pm local time, when the driver made a quick turn into a studio lot. The tram suffered from a mechanical failure during the turn, according to the driver, and the last car smashed into a nearby guardrail, sending passengers tumbling out of the car. 15 people were sent to a hospital to be treated for mild injuries, and Universal is trying to find out the cause of the mechanical failure to prevent the incident from happening again.
