A technical glitch was the reported cause of the crash that occurred between two Light Rail Transit Line (LRT) 1 trains at the Monumento station on Saturday.
A report said the crash interfered with the normal operations of the LRT 1, which led a number of passengers having to take other means of transportation.
LRT Spokesman Hernando Cabrera said the technical glitch was due to the power fluctuation in the area.
The power fluctuation was responsible for one of the trains stopping and eventually colliding with another from behind.
Meanwhile, he said that only one person—the LRT 1 driver —was reported to have suffered minor injuries from the crash. He was immediately brought to the nearest hospital.
“LRT 1 is still on degraded operations, Baclaran to Monumento and back only,” Cabrera said on his official Twitter account, adding that that technical personnel are still working to bring back full line operations before lunch time.
