Narrative
JOHNSTON, RI – Three drivers and one bus passenger went to the hospital after a BMW collided with a sedan and a RIPTA bus on Thursday in Johnston.
The incident happened at the intersection of Hartford Avenue and Calumet Avenue, which is just northwest of the Dennis J. Roberts Expressway and west of Killingly Street.
The investigation thus far indicates that an eastbound BMW struck the back of an eastbound Honda Civic that was stopped and waiting to turn left at the intersection. The BMW then veered onto the westbound side of the road and crashed head-on into a RIPTA bus.
Medics transported all three drivers and one of the two passengers from the bus to the hospital with non-specified injuries.
A full investigation is underway to determine what might have caused the BMW to lose control.
