Students, driver taken to hospital in Anne Arundel Co. school bus crash

An Anne Arundel County, Maryland, school bus was involved in a crash on Route 198 near Bald Eagle Drive Tuesday afternoon, sending several students and the bus driver to a hospital.

A spokesman for the school system said the bus was coming from Meade Middle School and was carrying 23 people at about 3:15 p.m. when it was involved in a crash with two other vehicles and went off the road and into a tree. It’s not clear yet who crashed into whom.

The police told ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ that four students, the driver and the bus aide, as well as the driver of one of the other cars, were taken to a hospital with injuries officers characterized as non-life threatening.



Dave Dildine, in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic Center, said the crash involved “at least two other vehicles,” and the bus went off the road into a tree, as the other cars crashed into each other.

Route 198 was closed between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Route 32 for about two hours.
