DC man steals Metrobus, crashes into tree
Metro Transit Police officials are investigating how a 19-year-old D.C. man was able to steal a Metrobus, crash it into a tree and ultimately abandon the bus when officers stopped the vehicle. Police said they arrested the man on Friday and charged him with unauthorized use of a vehicle and fleeing an accident. No injuries were reported.
According to preliminary reports, the man is not a Metro employee but entered a bus facility wearing a bus driver's uniform and drove a bus out of the lot. He allegedly drove the bus about three miles before crashing into a tree in southeast Washington and continued driving it several blocks until Metro police stopped the vehicle after a 911 call about the accident.
The man allegedly fled the bus and was apprehended shortly after.
18 die in Zimbabwe bus crash
Police in Zimbabwe say 18 people have died and 30 have been seriously injured in a triple highway accident involving two buses and a truck.
Police at the scene about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Harare reported the first bus rammed into a stationary truck and veered off the highway early Sunday, followed seconds later by a second bus colliding with the same truck. Thirteen people died on the main highway to the city of Bulawayo and five died during emergency treatment later.
Bus accidents, common in Zimbabwe, are blamed on speeding, poor maintenance and shortages of tires and spare parts, including vehicle lights, in the ailing economy. At least 200 people have died in bus crashes this year.
