'Due to that fact and multiple patients being involved, we established and escalated this to a level one mass casualty incident,' said Baltimore City Fire Department communications director Kevin Cartwright.
At least 17 people were injured Saturday after a bus collided with two civilian vehicles in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore City Fire Department.
"We dispatched units to this location, and upon their arrival they did confirm that there was a collision involving an MTA bus that collided into a building," Cartwright said, according to WJZ. "Due to that fact and multiple patients being involved, we established and escalated this to a level one mass casualty incident."
Yellow crime scene tape was wrapped around the driver's side mirror of the damaged Lexus parked near a pole, and the vehicle's steering wheel airbag was deployed as the driver's door stood open, the video showed.
