Metro brief

Metrorail train kills bus driver

A Metrorail train struck and killed a Metrobus driver at the McPherson Square station Friday afternoon, The Washington Post reported.

Kurtland Johnson, 42, jumped onto the tracks in front of a blue line train. Johnson was on administrative leave after an accident involving his bus and another car, the Post reported.

No one was injured in the bus accident, which took place on March 6 and is still being investigated. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority regularly puts bus and train drivers on leave as accidents are investigated, according to the Post.

Johnson had been driving for Metrobus since September.
