Overview
- Emergency crews say a Metrobus struck the facade of Ambar in Shaw on Saturday morning after colliding with another vehicle at 7th Street and Q Street NW.
- Four people were evaluated and three adult women were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, including the bus driver, a passenger, and the SUV driver, according to officials.
- The restaurant was closed at the time, so no diners or staff were inside when the bus entered the dining room.
- Firefighters secured gas, electric, and water, searched the building, and deployed a collapse team; the bus was later removed and officials reported no major structural damage or need for shoring.
- Police and transit authorities have not released a definitive cause, though WMATA said the other vehicle struck the D4X bus, which led the driver to lose control.
