Bus hits cars in Virginia, killing 5 people and injuring 34, state police say
Investigators say the bus failed to slow for traffic near a work zone, and three of the 34 injured remain in critical condition.
- On Friday, May 29, 2026, a bus crashed into six vehicles on Interstate 95 southbound near mile marker 146 in Stafford County, Virginia, killing five people and injuring 34 others.
- Preliminary findings indicate the bus failed to reduce speed as traffic slowed for an upcoming work zone near mile marker 146, causing the multi-vehicle collision early Friday morning.
- Virginia State Police spokesman Matthew Demlein confirmed all five fatalities were occupants of the struck vehicles, while 34 patients were transported to area hospitals, including three with critical injuries.
- Authorities continue investigating the crash with charges pending against the driver; the Virginia Department of Transportation closed southbound lanes with detours at exit 148 to Route 1.
- Commuters should expect major delays on this heavily traveled interstate corridor; officials recommend Route 301 or Route 29 as alternate north-south routes to bypass the congested stretch.
