A serious head-on collision between two commuter buses near the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, injured 23 people on Friday morning, including at least 10 Defense Department personnel who were riding to work.
The crash happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. on Metro Access Road in the Pentagon transit loop, right next to a major Pentagon bus stop in the South Parking area.
The two buses involved were an OmniRide bus and a Fairfax Connector transit bus.
