Motorcyclist killed in crash with Ride On bus in Montgomery County

Police still investigating cause of accident

Last week, a motorcyclist from Stafford, Virginia died in a collision with a Ride On public bus on the Rockville Pike in Montgomery County during the early morning commute. While Montgomery County Police are still investigating the accident, they released a statement acknowledging the rider was killed after the Ride On bus driver tried to make a left turn onto South drive.

The accident occurred just after 6 a.m. during rush hour, shutting down both lanes of traffic for several hours. Montgomery County Police are asking for anyone with information about the crash to step forward and contact its Collision Reconstruction Unit.

Although the cause of the crash remains unclear, driver error on the part of the Ride On bus operator may have played a role in the deadly accident. Some public bus drivers involved in accidents may have received poor training and supervision, contributing to the unfortunate circumstances of of a catastrophic accident.
