Investigators first believed that the crash was caused by a mechanical failure. However, investigators from the California Highway Patrol have said that wasn’t the case and are still investigating.
The CHP said in a statement that the crash happened in the backlot of the studio, just after the tram passed the “Jurassic Park Cars,” CBS News reported.
While making a turn, the last car of the four-car tram collided with a guard rail, causing it to “tilt and eject multiple passengers from the tram,” the statement from the CHP said.
It is still not clear what caused the crash, but alcohol and drugs have been ruled out as a factor, CBS News reported.
Officials with Universal Studios Hollywood shared a statement on the incident, noting that tours have resumed operation with a modified route.
“Saturday night on the Studio Tour, a tram collided with a guard rail while making a left turn,” the statement said. “Our thoughts continue to be with the guests who were involved, and we are thankful that based on agency reports, the injuries sustained were minor. We are working closely with public agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, as we continue tour review of the incident, and safety remains a top priority.”
