The Post is reporting that mid-day today, a 27-year-old prisoner who escaped from a prisoner transport bus was killed after falling into oncoming traffic at Third and D Streets, Northwest. After escaping from the bus, the Post reports that the prisoner “was clinging to the underside of the vehicle when he fell from his spot and was hit by cars.” Traffic in the area was snarled for hours while the D.C. police, responsible for investigating the traffic fatality, surveyed the scene. Both the U.S. Marshal’s Service and the Department of Corrections are looking into the escape.
