UPDATE: 4:55 a.m.
Regional Transit will be using a bus bridge Friday morning for riders trying to take light rail at the Watt Avenue station after two trains crashed, injuring at least 27 people.
The accident happened late Thursday night after a SacRT train and a maintenance train collided near Roseville Road and Marconi Avenue. At least 13 people were transported to the hospital with minor to moderate injuries.
According to SacRT, riders in the area will have to use a bus bridge between the Watt/I-80 and Marconi/Arcade stations. Passengers will exit the light rail at one station, take a bus to the next station, and board the next light rail.
It's unclear how long the bus bridge will be in effect.
