First responders responded to a light rail-vehicle crash Friday evening in downtown Minneapolis.

Metro Transit tweeted that a train struck the car near the corner of Portland Avenue and S. Fifth Street, near the Armory U.S. Bank Stadium. The impact flipped the black vehicle upside-down.

Green and Blue Line trains were briefly delayed as the scene was cleared, Metro Transit said.

There was no early word on injuries.
