The crash occurred shortly before 10 a.m. on the outer loop of I-495 near Ritchie Marlboro Road in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, according to the Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department. The fire damaged both vehicles after the car collided with the back of the school bus.

The Rhode Island Bridge, which is usually bustling with traffic, has been forced to close due to a “critical failure” that has been discovered. This unexpected issue has left the bridge in an unsafe condition, and authorities have deemed it necessary to keep it closed until further notice. Unfortunately, this means that the bridge may not be reopened for several months, causing significant disruptions for commuters and travelers alike.
Fortunately, there were no injuries following a dramatic collision between a vehicle and a school bus carrying 23 students, according to authorities. No injuries were reported as the school bus transported 23 students, according to fire officials.
A tragic incident occurred in Florida as a school bus fatally struck a 15-year-old student while he was riding his bike to school, according to the police. The officials did not disclose the destination of the bus or the specific school that the students were enrolled in. Experts have found that the majority of fatalities in school bus-related crashes are the occupants of other vehicles.
According to the National Safety Council, the latest school bus-related crash did not result in any reported injuries. However, data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveals that such incidents claimed the lives of 108 individuals across the country in 2021.
