Ten Taken to Hospital Following Metrobus Accident

At least ten people were taken to a hospital for observation after two Metrobuses collided this morning.

A Metro spokeswoman said one bus rear-ended another bus when a car apparently ran a red light at 16th and Irving streets, NW, around 6:45 a.m. Metro said the buses were heading south on 16th Street, and one bus driver had to slam on the brakes. The second bus apparently couldn't stop in time.

D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter says there are no significant injuries. He said 20 people were examined at the scene, and 10 people will go to the hospital for further evaluation.

The buses involved run the S1 and S2 routes.
