3 Women Hurt After Metro Bus Crash Into Restaurant in Northwest DC A crash involving a Metro bus that plowed into a restaurant in Northwest Washington, D.C., left at least three people injured on Saturday morning, authorities reported. The incident occurred near the intersection of 7th Street and Q Street, NW, where the bus struck the building and partially entered the AMBAR Restaurant, which was unoccupied at the time. Emergency responders worked to extricate the bus from the structure, with the vehicle finally removed just before noon. According to DC Fire and EMS, the building showed no major structural damage, and no shoring was required to stabilize the site. Fire officials conducted a thorough search of the structure before beginning the extraction process. Crews also secured utilities at the scene to ensure safety during the operation. Once the bus was removed, units began clearing the area, marking the end of the immediate emergency response. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and DC Fire and EMS are investigating the cause of the crash. At least three adult women were taken to nearby hospitals with minor injuries, including the bus driver. While details about the crash remain under investigation, officials have not yet released information on the bus’s speed, driver actions, or potential contributing factors. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the crash, with 7News reporting that the bus was still partially inside the restaurant when crews began their efforts. The incident has prompted questions about the safety of public transportation and the potential risks of such collisions in urban areas. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the bus was following traffic signals or if any other vehicles were involved.#metro_bus #ambar_restaurant #dc_fire_ems #metropolitan_police_department #northwest_dc
