Minnesota State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske said one of the Minneapolis police squads escorting two buses crashed into a guard rail and ended up in front of the buses. He said the first bus braked but the second bus rear ended the first bus on the ramp. He said the accident call came in around 8:15 a.m.
Roeske said the officer in the squad car was taken to the hospital. He added there were minor injuries like scrapes and bruises on at least one bus passenger, but he didn't know how many sustained injuries.
The team arrived safely for their 1 p.m. game.
The strange late game decisions by QB Robert Griffin III were crucial in a 29-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Redskins let a 20-14 fourth quarter lead slip away. Three short touchdown runs by RB Matt Asiata were the key to the Vikings victory. Minnesota improved to 4-5.
A long day for the Redskins who fell to 3-6. Fortunately, there were no player injuries in the bus crash.
