Five people were taken to the hospital this morning after a tractor-trailer truck hit a Prince William County OmniRide Commuter bus as it was traveling in the eastbound HOV lanes on Interstate 66, according to Virginia State Police.
The driver of the OmniRide bus and four passengers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries in connection with the crash, which was reported at 8:18 a.m. on Thursday, April 22, according to Shelby Crouch, state police spokesperson.
A fifth passenger on the bus was not injured, Crouch said in a news release.
