Quote Ride On bus damages Gaithersburg house

A Ride On bus crashed into a townhouse in the Gaithersburg area of Montgomery County on Sunday afternoon, causing damage serious enough to call in building inspectors and have the residents find other accommodations, authorities said.
No one was injured in the crash, which occurred just after 3:30 p.m. on Anna Court, said Capt. Dave Falcinelli of the Montgomery County Police Department.
He said the bus was traveling on Girard Street when it left the road, went into the back yard of the home on Anna Court and hit the house's corner.
The bus was not carrying any passengers, and neither the bus driver nor the people in the home were injured, Falcinelli said.
Investigators were probing why the vehicle left the road, he said. Falcinelli said the damage to the house was significant enough that the residents were displaced while inspectors examined it, but "it's not like it entered the house." He said the Red Cross was helping the residents find other accommodations.

I saw a video on NBC4 and it was an Orion VII (CNG).
