Officers in
Arlington, Texas, received a call at about 5:30 a.m. about a
blue SUV that had run into a barrier wall and was blocking the
high-speed travel lane after having been seen swerving,
Arlington Police Lieutenant Christopher Cook said. Shortly
after, the Greyhound bus hit the vehicle, he added.
A woman who was in the SUV died and a man was taken to an area
hospital with serious injuries, Cook said, adding that it was
not clear which one was the driver.
"It's a very dangerous situation when an SUV or any vehicle is
stopped in a main travel lane and other vehicles are coming at
highway speed," Cook said.
The bus, en route to Amarillo from Dallas, had 40 passengers and
a driver on board. Sixteen of the passengers were transported to
area hospitals for minor injuries following the crash, Greyhound
spokeswoman Lanesha Gipson said.
None of the bus passengers suffered life-threatening injuries,
Cook said.
