当局表示,事故发生后有数人情况危急。巴尔的摩当局称,一辆疑似被盗的汽车与一辆公共汽车相撞,导致十多人受伤。
Several people were in critical condition following the crash, authorities said. Over a dozen people were injured after an alleged stolen vehicle collided with a public bus in Baltimore, authorities said.
据巴尔的摩警方称,这起车祸发生于周四下午1点前不久的一个十字路口。
The crash occurred at an intersection shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday, according to Baltimore police.
巴尔的摩警察局局长理查德·沃利(Richard Worley)表示,车内载有四名未成年人,当时疑似在逃避警方追捕,随后与马里兰州交通管理局(MTA)的公交车相撞。
A vehicle containing four juveniles was allegedly fleeing officers when it collided with a Maryland Transit Administration bus, according to Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley.
沃利周四在事发现场附近举行的记者会上说:“初步信息显示,警官接到失窃车辆警报并试图进行交通拦截。”他说,警官随后呼叫了巴尔的摩警察局航空分队协助。
"Preliminary information indicates that officers received an alert for a stolen vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop," Worley said during a press briefing on Thursday near the scene of the crash. The officers called for the Baltimore Police Department Aviation Unit to assist, he said. "Shortly afterward, officers observed the vehicle collide with an MTA bus at this intersection," Worley said.
沃利说:“不久之后,警官发现该车在这个十字路口与一辆MTA公交车相撞。”据沃利称,公交车上的12人(包括司机)被送往当地医院。车内的四名未成年人也被送往医院。
Twelve people on the bus, including the driver, were transported to area hospitals, according to Worley. The four juveniles in the vehicle were also transported to the hospital, he said.
据巴尔的摩消防局局长詹姆斯·华莱士(James Wallace)称,大多数人受轻伤,但有数人伤势危急或严重。沃利称,车内至少有两名未成年人情况危急。沃利表示,从损坏情况来看,事故发生时该车似乎正高速行驶。
The majority of people had minor injuries, though several were in critical or serious condition, according to Baltimore Fire Department Chief James Wallace. At least two of the juveniles in the vehicle were in critical condition, according to Worley. Based on the damage, the vehicle appeared to be driving at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred, according to Worley. The vehicle was traveling eastbound on East Oliver Street when it collided with a bus traveling southbound on North Wolfe Street, he said.
他说,这辆车沿东奥利弗街向东行驶,在北沃尔夫街与一辆向南行驶的公交车相撞。沃利不清楚警方追捕了该车多久。
Worley did not know how long police had pursued the vehicle.
他说:“我只知道他们在确认这是一辆失窃车辆之前尾随了一会儿,然后才试图拦截它。”目前事故仍在调查中。沃利表示,调查人员将调阅公交车和警员的监控录像。
"I do know they followed it for a little bit before they got the hit that it was a stolen vehicle, and that's when they tried to stop it," he said. The crash remains under investigation. Worley said investigators will look to review video from the bus and officers.
