Baltimore city bus and van collide during rush hour

BALTIMORE - A city bus and van collided during rush hour in Baltimore on Wednesday morning, sending dozens to the hospital, one in serious condition.

Capt. Roman Clark of the Baltimore Fire Department says the Maryland Transit Administration vehicles crashed just after 7 a.m. Wednesday in west Baltimore. The van was for people with physical disabilities, though transit officials say no passengers were on board that one.

Clark initially said 21 adults and four children were taken to the hospital. All but one adult had only minor injuries. Transit officials say none of the injuries was life-threatening.

CBS Baltimore reports 30 people were injured, and only 17 adults and 3 children were taken to the hospital.

More than an hour after the crash, workers were towing the larger of the two vehicles from the scene. The windshield and front-door windows were blown out. The front was mostly twisted metal and exposed wires. Glass and metal were strewn about the street.

The cause of the accident is unknown. The transit agency and city police are investigating.
