A Maryland Transit Administration bus collided with a work van in Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon, hospitalizing a dozen people, officials said.

Emergency crews responded to the collision at 1:03 p.m. at the intersection of West Baltimore and North Monroe streets, said Veobia Akilo, a spokesperson for the Baltimore City Fire Department.

The medics who responded requested additional help, bringing a total of seven medic units to the scene, Akilo said.

Those units transported 12 people to hospitals including the bus driver with non-life-threatening injuries, said Courtney Mims, spokesperson for MTA.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek to determine what caused the vehicle to crash into the bus, Mims said.

There have been at least two other crashes involving MTA buses this year.

Eight people were hospitalized in March after a bus collided with two cars in Mid-Town-Belvedere. A 33-year-old woman died and two others were injured in a four-vehicle crash involving an MTA bus in Anne Arundel County in May.
