Metrobus Driver Killed by Semi on I-395
posted 7:26 pm Thu October 25, 2007 - ARLINGTON, Va
Thirty-seven-year-old Keith Dodson of D.C. was pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital. Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein says the bus had no passengers when it broke down about 5:45 a.m. on its way to King Street Station in Alexandria. The bus became disabled on the access road from South Glebe Road to southbound I-395 at Shirlington Circle. Metro says Dodson got out of his bus to figure out what was wrong. Arlington County police say it appears a car noticed the disabled bus and slowed down. That car was hit by a tractor-trailer, sending it into the gap between the bus and the guardrail. The semi followed the car, striking and fatally injuring Dodson.
Dodson was rushed to George Washington University Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Farbstein says Dodson has been driving since November 2002.
