Light-rail trains were briefly halted and replaced by buses in downtown Minneapolis Thursday afternoon because of a vehicle rollover on the tracks near U.S. Bank Stadium, Metro Transit said.

By 4:35 p.m., the vehicle had been cleared from the tracks and train service was resuming. "Expect delays as we work to get back on time," Metro Transit said in a tweet. "Thank you for your patience."

There were no apparent injuries in the rollover.
