School Bus Leak Slows Traffic on I-270 at Montrose Road
Local authorities report that two right lanes of I-270 at Montrose Road were closed this afternoon because of a school bus in need of repairs.
MCPS Spokesperson Gboyinde Onijala said two school buses with students aboard were headed to Goshen Elementary School from a field trip at Strathmore this afternoon when one of the drivers discovered an antifreeze leak.
According to Onijala, the students were sheltered in place on the second bus while a replacement bus was dispatched to pick them up. She said no students were injured and the students are now headed back to school.
