The accident resulted in multiple injuries, with all of those involved being transported to University Medical Center or Sunrise Hospital, Dodds said. The extent of the injuries was unclear.
Metro Spokesman Bill Cassell said the accident caused authorities to close Pecos Road northbound from Reno Avenue to Tropicana.
