Three people are dead after an assisted living facility bus crashed into a dump truck head-on in Charles County, Maryland early Friday morning.
The victims were identified as two passengers of the “senior-living assisted facility transportation bus” and its driver.
Maryland State Police identified the three victims as 84-year-old driver Charlie Parker; and passengers Cassandra Brown, 61, and Darlene Burrell, 64.
The collision occurred shortly before 8 a.m. at Port Tobacco Road and Bowie Road when the Sagepoint Senior Living Services bus lost control “for unknown reasons” and struck an eastbound dump truck head-on.
Impairment is not believed to be a factor in the collision. Maryland State Police Lt. Everett West said the tragedy affected first responders.
“I think I can easily speak for all the first responders; it’s a pretty somber mood here today.”
