August 13, 2015 at 10:16PM

Metro Transit's Blue Line is running again after trains were temporarily stopped Thursday because of a collision with a bicyclist near the 46th Street station.

Trains were temporarily stopped about 4 p.m. between the Franklin Avenue and Fort Snelling stations and resumed running before 5 p.m., said Metro Transit spokesman Howie Padilla.

He didn't have details yet about the crash but said the bicyclist was taken to the hospital reportedly with non-life-threatening injuries.

About 150 people were on the train when the accident occurred, Padilla said.
