Title: 2 Metro Buses Collide This Morning
Post by: WES on September 30, 2010, 08:36:10 AM
Two Montgomery Division buses crashes this morning. One was 2082 and the other was 6037.  2082 looks like it took the worst of the two suffering front end damage.  6037 looks like it might have only minor damage.  Let's just say preliminary that the weather might have something to do with this.  There are some injuries, right now they don't seem major.

And just to add to the crash, 6037 was doing the C2 and 2082 was doing the C4 going to Greenbelt and PG Plaza respectively.

Guys, I just checked. The C2 bus was 6027, not 6037.

According to WTOP, the driver of one of the buses has been cited for speeding.

So does this mean that 2082 is now toast?
