SALT LAKE CITY — Two female teenagers suffered minor injuries after the vehicle they were traveling in pulled in front of a Trax train Tuesday afternoon, according to Salt Lake City police.

Police responded to the scene at about 3:30 p.m. in the area of 400 South and 500 East. According to police, the driver of the vehicle made a left turn against the traffic light, which caused the collision.
