Metrobus crash on Capitol Hill leaves 17 injured

WASHINGTON – At least seven people are injured and 10 others are “walking wounded” after a Metrobus accident near the Eastern Market Metro Station on Capitol Hill Friday morning, according to D.C. Fire and EMS.

The serious accident involved a bus and at least one other car on 8th Street Southeast at Pennsylvania Avenue at roughly 9:30 a.m. At least seventeen people were taken to the hospital.

All roads have reopened.

“It sounds like it’s not affecting traffic in a huge way,” says ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Traffic’s Tim Bracken, “but it will affect traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue as people try to access 8th Street.”

Most of the injuries are minor, but there are a few with serious injuries.
