- A family recalls the fear they felt when the studio tram they were riding in tipped over at Universal Studios Hollywood, leaving 15 people injured. Since the incident, the Murrieta family claims park officials have downplayed the severity of the crash and the victims’ injuries.
Emergency crews responded to the park on April 20 just after 9 p.m., after reports of a crash taking place during the studio backlot tour attraction. The tram was passing the Jurassic Park exhibit when, while making a left turn, the last tram car struck a metal guardrail on the right-hand side, according to California Highway Patrol.
The maneuver tilted the vehicle, causing passengers to fall out and onto the road. Emergency crews transported 15 people to the hospital with minor to moderate injuries, including 11-year-old Sophia who was celebrating her birthday at the theme park.
KTLA's Sandra Mitchell reports on April 24, 2024.

The lawyer makes it sound like a plane crash. 😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️
Exactly!! 😂😂😂. They are looking to never have to work again
Well thechnicakly, depending of where in the tour it happened, it couldve been a plane crash....or even a shark attack . 🙊🙊🙊
😂😂
Lmaoo broo, I spit out my food
I thought the lawyer was going to demand a report of the black box findings 🤣
Dude looks like those typical scam lawyers
Absolutely!!
He has that well-crafted certainty that one can only get from bullsh1tting thousands of people.

I don't think he's lying on this!
Brain is bleeding yet gets sent home? I’m no doctor but I feel like that wouldn’t be a “go home” scenario.
They’re sending people who had heart attacks and strokes home 1-3 days later. People who are brain dead they have ambulances pick em up and send them home. Doesn’t suprised me it’s Los Angeles
They didn’t give the time frame on how long she was in hospital. She was treated then sent home so it could of been a day or two
Attorney is trying to work on his money, the hospital would not release you with a brain bleed, get your over exaggerated story straight
The lawyer is making is seem like a freak accident of devastated proportions. He’s trying to get his cut for sure. It’s crazy how desperate for money they sound too.
isnt that the reason you hire an attorney after an accident?
@@ded.seriouscurrently happening to me. She got a lawyer, lied about others being involved (when it was just her), and now my insurance and I are waiting for her medical bills. I honestly don’t believe that cow got injured in the accident, but people are so desperate for money
Sounds like the attorney is doing their part. Problem is anyone with a functional brain, like that lady with the bleeding of the brain, knows that she’d be in more than a day at the hospital. Most cases it can cause seizures or worse death. I know people who have. I’d sue if that was the case but it clearly is not. Jurassic park coined it best (irony) “blood sucking lawyers”
Im in my 60's that equipment has been around since I was a child
If it were ‘anything but minor injuries’… y were they released so quickly from the hospital
They're lying and so is that damn attorney lol
@@chinaarlene7035I dunno man I had people that work on universal report someone dying at horror nights and not a peep from the news. They’re pretty good at hiding info.
They are looking for a payday while not even fact checking what would be believable lies so now are tanking their case before the ink could even dry.
I work there. The tram was not overturned. They are milking TF out of this. And they're being represented by an attorney with a room full of toys. 🤣
you were driving it huh LMAOOOO
And you believe them? 🤡
@@biggchewy1212 Believe who? 🤡
how can you trust a lawyer with funko pops in the background
🤣😭
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. One side is down playing it and the other side is over exaggerating
I say "I got a splinter from a piece of wood." My attorney says "a huge piece of wood lodged itself deep into the flesh causing grave pain and internal destruction with a hole in the flesh creating a wound that will take several years to recover as it was a tramatic incident".
That tram must be on crack if it was going 20mph it tops at 8mph bro lol
Maybe it was during a descent portion of that ride
They were probably trying to get away from that part where the massive boulders are coming down the hill at you.
It was the back lot the the actual studio tour
Not even their best driver could get over 10mph going through that turn.
@FlyGuy2000 they haven't had that part in forever, the accident happened in the turn approaching Flash Flood behind Cabot Cove/Jaws lake leaving the Jurrassic Park picture cars.
Just gonna point out a small fact- I work at Universal. (Not a driver but on the Backlot a lot) the Trams max speed is like less then 10mph so... 20? Ya not even possible. Especially on the tour route. No way in hell any driver is doing that kinda speed. I dont even think its possible. That's just asking for trouble.
Do you think it has to do with the glamor trams they’ve been using? They’re a single car tram vehicle instead of multiple cars so they weigh less and can go much faster than the regular studio tour trams.
@ran97396 the Glamor Tram is just a regular tram wrapped. Still 4 cars. Still slow. Still huge. They did the wrap to honor the first edition of the tour.
Exactly I am there all the time and the and the trans go very slow
Probably was a technical malfunction.

How much you want to bet they weren't even on the tour at the time of the accident and after hearing there was a accident made up the injuries forgetting there would be hospital and police reports.
I wonder what the record is for getting an attorney after an accident?? Minutes, seconds??
lol this happened few days ago
@@562LA2THEBAYbut with a brain bleeding, surely you should be in redress and under close medical observation.
For my car accident it took less than a hour
What are you talking about
They have attorneys on stand by.
"vomiting, diarrhea,...the list goes on and on..."
Sounds like an average night watching the news on UA-cam.
Hahaha diarrhea
@@luisadrian408 Some people think it's funny but it's really brown and runny.
Don't forget being unconscious when taken off the tram yet can't even say where on the tram they had been sitting even though plenty of witnesses and reports were being documented that night so if they had been unconscious the hospital wouldn't have sent them home that night especially if they are claiming a head injury since the hospital would have wanted to keep them for observation. They lost their case already but the lawyer is too stupid to check the facts behind the bogus claims before releasing a statement which the hospital and police reports will destroy before a judge even looks at the case. Universal would be wise to counter-sue all the people that are making the false claims like them to get reimbursed for all the medical bills for those who actually got hurt in the crash. Also if you pay attention they are suing for leg injuries from a surgery that happened prior to going to the park which means that person would have been put in the front car where they would have had the leg room and would have been furthest from collision so wouldn't have been injured.
This is what happens when you have these lawyers on TV advertising and making people think being in an accident is like winning the lottery.
The attorney mentioned that the mother slammed against "plexiglass". There is no plexiglass on the trams...
Yes there is
I’m just wondering how the trans flip in the first place? I thought everything about trams was kept in a consistent pace and on track?
@@jdos5643they don’t flip. They smacked that railing and it sent them flying to the right side of the tram.
Every car front of the tram cars have plexiglass windshields, car 1 only the driver and tour guide are by the glass. Cars 2, 3, & 4 only the front row has the glass and also has poor legs room so his client with the pre existing leg surgery pain would never been in that row or even in the back 3 cars since they would have been put in the front car.
@@jdos5643there is no track since they are driven on streets by professional drivers and the route changes all the time since it's a working film lot.
It's Stories like this that will eventually end back lot tours for everyone
They are going to install seat belts and make them mandatory for all!
@@dezz238 AND yOU Read that where?
Accidents happen, investigations will take place to determine the cause. It seems like driver error but maybe lighting will be added, if necessary.
Like the cops say: Click it or ticket.
@@racegroovesthey already reported the brakes failed on the last car which cause it to fishtail before hitting the guardrail so they are trying to determine why the brakes failed on that car while worked on the other 3 cars on the tram.
I could never be this lucky...
You really want to be in a accident where you put your life on the line? Life is more important than money and some humans are way to consumed in money. Yes, its great to have alot of money but what if you don't die and let assume you end up like a vegetable?

Sounds like an ambulance chaser if I ever heard one

Sky daddy strikes again.
@@dasedworldLmfao!
That lawyer is a scumbag. I really want Universal to be the bad guy, I hate hollywood. But that lawyer's sliminess makes me hope he loses the case.
Not filing lawsuit with all these injuries truly baffles me??
I said the same thing! How are they not filing a lawsuit when their injuries are really bad esp the one with her head. I so would sue if I was her
They're milking it.
Ya I don’t get it, then why contact an attorney and have one involved if no lawsuit pending. This all sounds very fishing to me.
@@Petrelligurl22Of course you would. Everyone looking for easy money.
That is lawyer talk for... " we are waiting for the cash settlement... Don't make me take this to court because I will"
To a speedy recovery. Its in Universals best interest, to pay for everyone's hospital bill....and then some.
And to close the backlot tours attraction until further notice and until both external and internal investigations have been conducted and completed.
@@ivegasliveentertainmentinc4698 🤣🤣
@@ivegasliveentertainmentinc4698 they won't do that
@@ivegasliveentertainmentinc4698guess you missed the investigation already determined the brakes failed on that car, no drugs or alcohol were involved, and they cleared the tour to resume with a modified route which avoids the accident scene until the rest of the investigation is finished.
The laywer is the one overplaying this. He sees Universal and wants that $$$
Literally says their not interested in a lawsuit
@@MWAclanGaming they still want a settlement hence why there is a Laywer involved
Talking about slamming into a plexiglas wall on the tram, shows a picture of the tram with no plexiglass. “Brain bleed” that was treated and streeted. sigh. See, this is why people don’t trust lawyers.
There is plexiglass windshields in front of the first row of each car but the car tilted to the right which means no way to slam into it.
I think he’s describing the plane scene at The tour lol
Crazy how 0 footage of the accident has circulated…at a theme park. I would imagine someone was recording when it happened
It was dark so I wouldn't be surprised if nobody was recording. It sounds like it happened when the Tram was in between attractions. People record the attractions.
Presumably if there is footage it’s being kept for the lawsuit(s)
@@racegroovesthere are plenty of people who film the entire time while on the tram even in the dark and they have photos taken by a news helicopter that shows how well lit the area was where the accident happened.
Treated and released. Sorry to all that were affected but the ambulance chasing atty. will certainly file a lawsuit unless he can negotiate a payout. Deep pockets get sued on a regular basis.
Deep pockets also means lawyers that can squash bogus lawsuits like the one this nut job of a lawyer is trying to file with his fake clients because none of their claims will hold up in court after the judge sees the official reports from the police, CHP, and the hospital.
Why get a lawyer if they're not going to sue
to settle out of court
Don't trust lawyers with Funko Pop figures on their desks 🤣
Here come the lawsuits 😂😂😂
Are they just supposed to brush it off and keep moving?
The 4 family members said they are not filing a lawsuit. Reporter said that at the end of this video. Others could I guess.
don't get that bad of an injury going that slow
Sounds like they’re inflating their injuries in preparation for the lawsuit.
I almost got bit by Jaws and my neck and back are damaged from Earthquake the ride at Universal, can I sue? This attorney can't even narrate a convincing story/incident...
Just amazing how people don't realize they are injured until after a consultation with a lawyer. Greedy people taking advantage of the situation for personal gain. They will lie and cheat to come up. Crooked lawyer, crooker doctors and Universal will still have to settle. This has to be the worst 5MPH crash ever recorded!
Dang lol. They lawyered up FAST.
Lawyer makes it sound like they had a head on collision with a train. That thing doesn’t go 20min. It’s much slower.
They have cameras on it so we shall see.
I hope get well
I hope not get well.
@@gozardsmooth not nice
Contrary to what they said, lawyer wants to collect money.
Ambulance-chaser lawyers. I don't think Universal Studios downplayed it at all. No, you don't transport a dozen individuals to a hospital for minor injuries... people demand transport to the hospital to blow something out of proportion for a pay day.
Never believe a lawyer.
Lying lawyer to cause higher prices for a fake injury. BRAIN BLEED, to release.
20mph ?! Don't they normally go slower ?!
Ya, it seems like they never go more than 5-10 mph.
When Conan hijacked trams for his show and took them out of the lot they needed a police escort because of the speed the trams go.
Media trying to make it look worse then it was 😂😂😂😂
WOW! I grew up in The Valley and have gone to Universal Studios many times and nothing like this has ever happened. I do hope everyone is ok.
Last injury accident with the tram that is reported was during Halloween back when the night event was called Fright Fest still. It was a scare actor that was to jump out of a parked tram between mannequins to scare guests on a tram driving by and the actor misstimed their jump and ended up between cars and was ran over then dragged to their death. The park paused the niggt event then and when they started doing Halloween again it was called Horror Nights and the scare actors weren't allowed to approach moving trams anymore. Closest is the Norman Bates actor walking up to the tram and he still keeps a safe distance while the tram is moving so not to be on the tram road while a tram is there. Scare actors Do approach stopped trams after the doors are opened for the Terror Tram but there is also Studio Tour Ambassadors present to make sure the driver doesn't move the tram while anyone else is close to the tram. There was even a time where the Movie Monsters would walk around and do photo ops with guests on the tram while the tram was still in the loading area.
I’ve been on that tram for so long, so many times and not once have I had trouble. This is a shock. The trams are slow tho?!
Judging by this attorney I think Universal Studios is going to save alot of money on the lawsuit......
he looks high on drugs
I remember being on that tram a few months ago. Some of the turns were very sharp and I even remember thinking “what if we tip over?”.
Maybe too many tall big people on the tram.
It probably wasn't that bad until the blood thirsty lawyers started calling the people involved and telling them how rich they can get. This is why people hate lawyers.
They’re fine y’all This lawyer is a ambulance chaser
get a new lawyer
I've ridden on these things. I have no idea, at all, how it would EVER flip over. Even at full speed these things are wildly slow and stable.
As someone who has been shot two separate times while working in LE, I got a 20k settlement each time. These people injuries are nowhere near what I had, they are not going to "get rich".
That’s very shocking. I’ve been to the Universal Studio Tours so many times ever since I was a kid. Nothing like this has ever happened before though I have heard that when Universal Studios Hollywood did their first Halloween Horror Nights in 1986 they only do the Terror Tram at that time, one of the scare actors was accidentally got hit and killed by the Tram and I remember at one time in 2016, one of the tires of the Tram blow up before entering King Kong 360 3D and the repairmen come to the rescue to replace the tire.
The accident with the scare actor was before it was Horror Nights, it was renamed after the accident when they started doing the Halloween events again.
'They were then chased by chainsaw wielding maniacs, doing lasting psychological damage that has impacted my clients ability to earn a living'
'Sir, it was Halloween horror nights.'
Good thing i wasn't there, I went to Universal Studios hollywood before my birthday. The tram line was so long until i heard about this, i feel bad for this family tho. I hope they are still ok.
Exaggerating the injuries for a lawsuit much?
News anchors stating that universal studios are downplaying the incident
Lol.. that attorney is a snake 🐍
Lifetime passes for those people on board who gotten hurt. And which it seems to be this complicated for a team incident like this before.🤦🏻 But thankfully those people are ok with this event.🙏🙌🏻
Pffft, I've been on that tram. It goes about 5 mph. Sounds like someone is milking this for s lawsuit to make a pile of money.
Damn a accident and customer want to sue not because their injury but for greedy money. It's like someone fall off a bike you sue the bike company?
They quickly hired a lawyer but not suing. They know they won't win big, hoping Universal would settle with them.
I fell in Supermarket before and got injured at work and it was their fault and was told to file a lawsuit and I never did.Its not my thing lawsuits.
I slipped onto one knee at a Chinese buffet last year and brushed it off, but never thought about sueing and I still go there 😅

They will all be laughing when your legs fall off later in life. sometimes it takes a while for injuries to manifest.

Thank God my grandson didn't get on that last tram ride 😢
Law$uit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not by the 4 family mentioned here. They said they are not filing a lawsuit. Others could.
I was there for my birthday and my early birthday for my cousin. My aunt and her family was planned to go there but last minute change of plan and go to another ride. My mom said my aunt is very lucky to not go the tram. And imagine if my aunt and her family was on that tram.
Hope everyone gets better especially the young girl. Sad to see this happen. We love universal studios especially this tran. Hope Universal Studios finds out exactly what happened and fix the problem.
I was on this tour. I sat in the back. Once it flipped, i grabbed on to the rail as hard as i could. I hit my head, now my symptom is diarrhea
Can anyone confirm it went “WILDLY” out of control?
I’ve seen rockets go WILDLY out of control or some fireworks…etc.
Just haven’t seen a tram WILDLY go out of control.
Mannn people going to be milking Universal for compensation 😂
Imagine a Corporation downplaying something.
Hahahaah 😅
Imagine the police and hospital down playing injuries in their reports before the lawsuit being filed while CHP is still investigating everything surrounding the accident.
No matter what anyone thinks, it's pretty damn scary to have one of those trams tip over like they show in the Kong jungle scene.
Hardest working lawyer in the history of lawyering....
I'm sure none of these victims are milking their injuries. I'm sure their injuries aren't being exaggerated by their ambulance chasing, billboard and bus bench advertising, santa monica juco law school graduate of a lawyer.
I don't think they have to sue because the company is going to settle out of court for everyone on that tram.
They keep throwing out “11 year a old child” but what was her injury? The report itself sounds a little exaggerated.
This is why it’s best to stay home 😊
Wait I'm confused. Is Universal trying to downplay the injuries or were they just given wrong information by first responders? You present a statement that contradicts your claim at 2:09.
The lawyer knows what to tell them to feel
What did the driver have to say?
Everyone is quick to make this a death situation when it’s only injuries thankfully only injuries but just sue in private quit making it a story no one cares for. I’m surprised people still think companies won’t downplay everything🤦🏻♂️
I’ve still yet to hear what actually happened. No videos or good description of the event.
Tactics of an ambulance chasing attorney.
Plan A: Obtain substantial medical evidence to support the injury.
Plan B: Just go on the news, drag their name through the mud & exaggerate the injuries.
“We’ll pay you to shut up!”
💲💲💲😁 💲💲💲
I’m sure these people were injured and Shame on universal for trying to downplay it but this just seems like a typical injury lawyer pushing this further
Universal studios: Give em season passes and pat them off they'll be good as new!
I'll sue them 💯%
It seems to be a very minor accident. Did someone die or is critical in the hospital?
5 people going to Universal will pay over 500$ just to get in. No thanks Universal. 😮
"overturned" and no photo of said "overtured tram"
me: mhm yep thats an over turned tram alright
and another thing.. 20 mph in the backlot? right....
A speedy recovery 🙏
Since police and the hospital have reported only minor injuries since the day of the accident, the lawyer and the family will loose the case before it can even get to trial.
Those injuries are the total opposite of being minor.
Isn't the better thing to say is no one died or has been reported with major injuries. Those involved are in for easily a life time pass or money, but thankfully no one seems to have died.
Since when did their trams have any glass? It’s always been an open tram ride. No windows ever.
