Baltimore, MD
Two city buses collided
during rush hour in Baltimore, sending 25 people to the hospital, one in
serious condition.
Capt. Roman Clark of the
Baltimore Fire Department says the two Maryland Transit Administration buses
crashed just after 7 a.m. Wednesday in west Baltimore. One bus was for people
with physical disabilities.
He says 21 adults and
four children were taken to the hospital. All but one of the adults had only
minor injuries. Transit officials say none of the injuries was
life-threatening.
More than an hour after
the crash, workers were towing the larger of the two buses from the scene. The
windshield and front-door windows were blown out. The front of the bus was
mostly twisted metal and exposed wires.
Glass and chunks of metal
were strewn about in the street.
The transit agency and
city police are investigating the accident.
