Written by City News Service - A car struck a train on the Metro Expo Line in South Los Angeles this morning, resulting in minor injuries to two train passengers and extensive damage to the car, police said.
   The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. at Jefferson Boulevard and Flower Street, said Sgt. A. Mendoza of the Los Angeles Police Department's South Traffic Division.
   ``The driver was picked up by USC police and is being investigated for possible DUI ...,'' Mendoza said.
   Two women on the train complained of pain in their backs, necks, legs and hips and were treated at the scene, he said.
   The driver was not injured but his white sedan sustained extensive damage when it collided with the Expo Line train, Mendoza said.
   The train had minimal damage and was removed from the tracks within a few hours, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Michael Gross. The track was cleared and ready for the morning commute.
   There was no crossing gate at the intersection, Mendoza said. The flashing lights and ringing bells at the intersection should have been sufficient to tell motorists to stop at the train crossing, he said.
