An accident at Universal Studios sent several people to the hospital. The cause of the accident is still unknown at this time, but here is what we know so far.
Universal Accident
Universal Studios Hollywood is home to several great attractions, including the recently opened Super Nintendo World. While it is much smaller than its East Coast counterpart, it still has a lot to offer.
For example, the Studios Tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at the actual working studio. You may see a film being shot or a celebrity.
Unfortunately, one of the tours came to a brieft halt when the tram got into accident.
