Two people have been hospitalized following a collision between a truck and a Fairfax County Public Schools bus on Richmond Highway during the afternoon rush-hour, police say.
Officers and Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units were dispatched at around 4:56 p.m. for the crash at the intersection of Richmond Highway (Route 1) and Mohawk Lane in Woodlawn, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
No children were on the school bus at the time of the crash, the FCPD said.
However, the driver of the truck — which was described as a white pickup on the emergency scanner — was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. An adult female passenger on the bus was also transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“Two southbound lanes and one northbound lane of Richmond Hwy are closed as officers investigate,” the FCPD said in a social media post shortly after 6 p.m. “Please seek an alternate route.”
