A Vern Express shuttle bus was involved in a single-vehicle accident at about 2 p.m. today on Foxhall Road.

Robert Snyder, managing director of Mount Vernon Campus Life, said the accident ocurred when the shuttle attempted to turn from Whitehaven Parkway onto Foxhall Road while en route to the Foggy Bottom Campus.

Snyder called the accident “minor,” but said that the driver and one passenger were taken to the hospital as a precaution. The other six passengers onboard did not report any injuries and were taken to Foggy Bottom on another bus.

The cause of the accident in unknown, but Snyder said the road was “wet and partially snow-covered.” He did not say how much damage had been done to the shuttle bus itself.
