Bus 5352, a Gillig low-floor hybrid, seems to be the bus that struck a house in Silver Spring:

Early reports indicate that this may be an issue with the brakes.

Oh lord. Another issue with Ride On. At first, I thought it might've been a speeding issue, but if it's brakes, another series of buses that might have issues.

Based on the number, I believe that 5352 is a 2012 diesel-electric hybrid Gillig Low Floor.  So this is from the most recent order of new buses from Ride On.

Not a brake issue according to news reports yesterday.
