3/23/2014WASHINGTON — Virginia State Police have told broadcast outlets that one person is dead and others have been injured after a 16-passenger shuttle bus overturned beside Interstate 95 near Washington.
A state police spokeswoman, Corinne Geller, told WTOP the bus crashed after 3 a.m. Sunday in Fairfax County, Va. Geller tells WTOP the commuter bus was headed south when a white, four-door passenger vehicle swerved at high speed into the bus’s travel lane.
