A crash involving a bus and a building in Baltimore County has left a large number of people injured, in an incident that emergency crews were still responding to as the first details emerged. According to the account, the scene was described as the aftermath of a major collision that had happened only a short time earlier.
The alert first came from local emergency officials. According to the reporting, the Baltimore County Fire Department put out word that a vehicle had crashed into a building, an initial description that set off coverage of the incident before the full picture was clear.
The nature of that vehicle soon became clearer. According to the account, it was learned that the vehicle involved was a bus, and that the bus had crashed into the building, giving a sense of the force behind a collision heavy enough to strike a structure.
The human toll was significant. According to the reporting, at least 30 people were injured in the crash, a figure that pointed to a crowded scene and prompted a large emergency response to treat and move those who had been hurt.
The bus was not the only vehicle caught up in the collision. According to the account, it was not only the bus that was impacted, as a couple of cars were also involved, sitting right behind the bus and the building at the point where the crash came to rest.
In the immediate aftermath, the focus remained on the response at the scene. According to the reporting, footage showed the damage left behind by the collision, with the bus, the building and the nearby cars all part of a scene that had unfolded just moments before crews and cameras arrived.
