In January 1982, a derailment killed three people. The only other collision between Metro trains occurred in 2004.
"We are extremely saddened that there are fatalities as a result of this accident, which has touched our Metro family," the Metro Authority said in a statement.
"Our safety officials are investigating, and will continue to investigate until we determine why this happened and what must be done to ensure it never happens again."
