Sixteen people were injured Saturday when a public transportation bus collided with two cars before hitting a building in Baltimore, authorities said.
Baltimore police said officers in the city’s central district responded to a Maryland Transit Administration bus crash around 10:20 a.m.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the bus collided with a Lexus and a Nissan before coming to a stop at a building. The Baltimore Sun reported that it was an apartment building.
Baltimore City Fire Department spokesman Kevin Cartwright told The Associated Press that 16 people were injured, none of whom were life-threatening. The official added that residents of the building would be allowed to return to their apartments on Saturday afternoon.
Witnesses said the Lexus was speeding and went through a light when it hit the bus.
“There were bystanders, bystander reports that there were vehicles speeding through this and the MTA bus, in an effort to avoid being a part of it, crashed into this building,” Cartwright told the newspaper.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.
