Six people were killed and 10 more injured Tuesday morning when a school bus veered into oncoming traffic in Southwest Baltimore and ripped through the side of an MTA bus, police said. Officials described a "horrific" scene in the 3800 block of Frederick Avenue, where the two buses remained jack-knifed into each other hours after the morning commute had concluded. A bystander said the force of the collision "shook the ground."
"It literally looks like a bomb exploded in the bus, and it's catastrophic damage," police spokesman T.J. Smith said.
The buses crashed before 7 a.m. Killed were the driver of the school bus and five people on the Maryland Transit Administration bus, officials said.
