Fox5 reported on Sunday that a member of their staff, Gwen Tolbart, was injured in a collision between her car and a Metrobus on Saturday night on her way home. Tolbart was thankfully not seriously hurt, but the bus driver, Harvey Carey of Lanham, has now been charged with failing to stay in the proper lane, which resulted in the accident.

Fishbowl DC has posted an email from Tolbart in which she describes the experience, which indeed sounds rather scary. We especially note this passage about the bus driver’s behavior:

The driver of the bus got out and started walking in the middle of traffic away from the scene going North. A man who was calling police followed him. The driver would not come back. A girl who had been on the bus came to comfort me as did another man. The girl said the driver was acting strange on the bus. No one on the bus was injured.

Sounds like improperly changing lanes may have been the least of Carey’s wrongdoing. We wish Tolbart a speedy recovery.
