Greyhound bus strikes tractor-trailer on I-70

WASHINGTON — A stretch of eastbound Interstate 70 in Hagerstown, Maryland had to be closed for more than two hourse after a Greyhound bus rear-ended at tractor-trailer early Friday.

During the closure, traffic was diverted off the highway at U.S. 40.

Maryland State Police say the bus driver had to be cut out of the bus, but that no one suffered any life-threatening injuries in the crash, which happened around 5 a.m.

School buses were brought in to transport passengers on the bus away from the highway after police could not get hold of Greyhound to bring in another bus.
