Chaptico, MD — A three-vehicle accident, involving a school bus and a drunk driver, injured 20 people in southern Maryland. The traffic accident occurred Tuesday night, November 22, 2011, around 9:30 p.m. on Route 234 at Mechanicsville Road in Chaptico, reported the Washington Post.
Maryland State Police reported that the bus was carrying students from Great Mills High School back home from a girls’ basketball game in Colonial Beach, Va., when the crash occurred.
John Patrick Kravats, 45, who was driving a truck, reportedly did not wait for a car that was about to make a left turn onto Mechanicsburg Road, causing the car and truck to collide and the truck to then hit the school bus, ABC 2 News reported.
