Police say a Megabus was one of nearly a dozen vehicles involved in a crash that’s left several people with minor injuries and shut down part of the H Street Corridor for hours.
D.C. Fire and EMS officials took three people from two vehicles to a nearby hospital with non serious injuries, according to spokesperson Vito Maggiolo. The Megabus driver, who denied medical treatment, was the only person on the bus at the time.
There were about 10 vehicles involved in the crash, which took place around 11:30 a.m. between the 500 and 800 blocks of H Street NE, according to D.C. Police spokesperson Karimah Bilal. No pedestrians were injured.
H Street is currently closed in both directions between the 600 and 900 blocks.
A witness told Fox 5 News that the bus hit a van, which then hit several other cars along the road. He said that the bus hit another car, a BMW, before it ended up on top of a curb.
Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen tweeted that it’s “very fortunate this wasn’t worse” in terms of injuries.
The incident comes about two months after a Megabus completely obliterated the D.C. streetcar stop at 3rd and H Streets NE.
D.C. police couldn’t detail the cause of today’s incident, which is still under investigation.
