[Sept. 21, 2006] A collision between a Prince George’s County school bus and a Metro van occurred about 8:20 a.m. in the 400 block of Ethan Allen Avenue (between Elm and Jackson Avenues). The school bus was transporting more than a dozen teenage students to a private school in Silver Spring. Three students initially reported possible injury and fire/rescue was summoned as a precaution; the youth declined treatment and transport.
Both vehicles were westbound. A trash can was in the road, requiring vehicles to cross into eastbound lanes to avoid it. The driver of the van stopped and exited the vehicle to move the can out of the traffic lane. At this time, the van rolled back into the front of the school bus.
Serious injuries were not reported and the two vehicles continued on their routes.
