A subway bus hit the popular restaurant in the Shaw neighborhood on Saturday morning, April 4.
The bus ended up partially inside the building, but fortunately no one was inside the restaurant.
Four people have been injured and have been transferred to hospital for examination. The injured include the driver and passengers.
DC Fire and EMS officials reported that the tragic incident occurred around 7th and Q streets NW.
The incident occurred when another vehicle collided with the bus, causing it to ram into the AMBAR restaurant, which is a popular brunch and dinner spot. Fortunately, the building was empty at the time.
The plant was closed and firefighters began searching for victims while a collapse team checked the structural integrity of the building. After the bus was removed around noon, it was determined that there were no issues with the structural integrity of the building.
Emergency crews remained at the scene until late in the morning while the investigation was conducted. The Metropolitan Police Department and DC Fire & EMS have taken the lead in investigating the cause of this accident.
