MTA Bus Crash Injures Eight In Rosedale, Maryland

A Maryland Transit Administration bus and a car crashed on November 23 before 10 at night in Baltimore, Maryland. Rain and wet roads may have been a factor in the bus and car crash, which took place near the Franklin Square Hospital in Rosedale.

Four of the injured were taken just a few hundred yards to Franklin Square Hospital while the other four were rushed to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center with varyingly serious injuries. It is unclear how many of the injured where from the bus and how many were from the car.

Baltimore County officials told reporters that the MD accident took place at the intersection of Franklin Square Drive and Abigail Drive and that one of the vehicles slid down an embankment. The MTA police and Baltimore police are investigating the car and bus accident, although the heavy rain at the time of the accident probably played a significant role.
