A Prius and the light rail crashed Friday morning at Park Avenue and Welton Street, pinning the car between the rail and pole and shutting down D-line service.
The Denver Fire Department said the person in the car was OK and has been extricated. One person on the train has a minor injury. Firefighters cut the car in half and called a tow truck to remove it.

D-line service is down between the 18th and Stout streets station and 30th and North Downing streets station. The Regional Transportation District expected it to reopen anywhere between 11:40 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. A bus shuttle is operating in that area while the train is down.
Estimating 60-90 minutes until D line service resumes between 18th & Stout and 30th & Downing. Bus shuttles operating.
