A Johns Hopkins University shuttle bus careened into a pair of buildings at the corner of 25th and North Charles streets on Saturday, leaving multiple people injured, Baltimore Police said.

A vehicle collided with the bus at the intersection around 5:19 p.m., propelling it into a row of brick buildings on North Charles Street, police spokesperson Lindsey Eldridge said in an email.

A Johns Hopkins University spokesperson said the driver and “several passengers” were taken to a hospital.

“We are working to identify and reach out to all of the shuttle passengers,” spokesperson J.B. Bird said in an email. “We are fully cooperating with BPD’s continuing investigation of the accident, and we will update our community as more information becomes available.”

The bus flew across a patch of grass and sidewalk and slammed into the buildings, toppling bricks, shredding metal and shattering glass. It appeared to have damaged an office building and part of Yum’s Asian Bistro.

The shiny blue bus was marked “Johns Hopkins University” and “Hopkins shuttle.”

The accident snarled traffic on a busy intersection that marks the dividing line between Charles Village and Old Goucher.

“I couldn’t go up 25th Street,” said Michael McAuliff, a journalist who lives in Charles Village. “There were a lot of police cars.”

Police initially said one person was taken to a hospital with apparent “non-life-threatening injuries,” but later confirmed that multiple people were taken to the hospital.

Two tow trucks removed the bus from the buildings around 7 p.m., a process that took less than 15 minutes and revealed a gaping hole stretching across both buildings.
