Los Angeles City Fire Department paramedics and firefighters triage passengers of a Los Angeles County Metro Orange Line commuter bus that collided with a vehicle at a San Fernando Valley intersection.

She was transported to a nearby trauma center in serious condition. None of the passengers on the bus were seriously injured. They were immobilized due to the mechanism of injury, placed in a head-elevated position on the curb for additional comfort, and transported to local hospitals for follow-up care.
