CNN —One person died and 12 others were injured when a Metro bus crashed into a Seattle building after colliding with a car Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
The crash at an intersection pushed the King County Metro Bus off the road, where it struck a woman and then slammed into a building, according to a Seattle Police Department news release.
No one was inside the part of the building the bus crashed into, and there was no significant structural damage to the building, Seattle Fire said.
Seattle Police said it appears the driver of the red sedan was heading south on 5th Avenue before crashing with the Metro Bus, which was eastbound on Battery Street.
“A Drug Recognition Expert officer will evaluate the male driver of the sedan for any signs of impairment,” police said.
