LAUREL, Md. — A major overnight crash occurred along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway in Laurel on Sunday.
Around 12:35am a FlixBus rolled on its side near Route 198, approaching the Prince George's County line.
According to U.S. Park Police, 40 passengers were aboard at the time, one of which sustained life-threatening injuries.
A FlixBus spokesperson tells WMAR-2 News the bus was heading to Washington, DC from New York City.
"We are in close contact with the operator and local authorities to understand the circumstances and ensure support is provided to those impacted," the spokesperson said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with the passengers, their families, and all those affected."
It should be noted FlixBus contracts with independent bus companies to run their routes, as was the case here.
