"Ohhhhh, the trolley at the grove ran off the tracks! Someone was ambulanced away," reported breesays via Twitter as she snapped the above photo.
At 9:39 p.m., the trolley at The Grove/Farmer's Market lost its brakes hitting a large planter at the end of the tracks near the clock tower. It did not come off the tracks or strike anyone, according to d'Lisa Davies of the Los Angeles Fire Department. However, six minor injuries, which included four children, were reported by KNBC's 11 p.m. news.

I haven't been to Farmers' Market in at least 10 years, so forgive my ignorant question. How did it strike anything if it didn't go off the tracks? Do they actually keep large planters on the track for just this reason?
the planter is at the end of the track where the trolley turns around -- it's decor, I guess.
CARUSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
My wife and I went to the "Americana" in Glendale a few weeks ago (another topic entirely). They have the same Trolley system -- thanks Caruso for brining the touchy class of Vegas to So Cal -- and we were amazed how close it was getting to people who had no idea it was behind them. I'm not surprised about this story. It's not like the Trolley is a bullet train speeding through Tokyo, but still seems pretty unsafe.
We need to get this thing underground before it kills again.

umm there is nothing dangerous about the trolley, its on a track and they ring a loud bell every 2 seconds. If anyone gets hit by it, it should be considered a fair warning for next time.
Me and some friends almost rode that death trap yesterday...
