PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Crews have been working around the clock to repair the light rail line at 18th and Washington streets that’s been closed for hours.

Phoenix police officers say a semi truck driver took an illegal left turn and crashed into a light rail train, igniting it in flames . The crash was caught on surveillance video attached to Jet Limousines , a business near the crash. The owner, Mary Ann, says the flames were so hot that they melted part of one of their buses.

The crash happens as the light rail operations union, Amalgamated Transit Union , is considering a strike due to safety issues, causing dangerous working conditions.

“The bar signals don’t work properly, the black out signals don’t work properly,” said Bob Bean, the president of the local ATU chapter.
