Salt Lake police Lt. Melody Gray said the man driving the car was eastbound on 800 South when he ran a red light and struck with the southbound train.
The man was transported to the hospital with minor injuries, Gray said. She said he would be cited for running a red light.
Tuesday’s incident marked the 16th crash this year involving TRAX trains — 11 of which involved motorists who have struck the trains, Carpenter said.
