Two buses have crashed head-on near a Pentagon bus stop, injuring 23 people, including Defense Department personnel. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency says the Omni Ride and Fairfax Connector transit buses struck each other shortly before 7:30 a.m. Friday. Emergency personnel transported 18 of the injured to local hospitals for further medical evaluation. Five were treated at the scene. Ten of the 23 injured passengers are from the Defense Department. The accident altered mass transit operations for several hours. It's unclear what caused the crash.
