FORT WORTH -- One person is dead and three others are injured after a public transit bus rear-ended two cars on Loop 820 Friday.

The collision occurred about 5:40 p.m. at Mark IV Parkway and eastbound Loop 820, about a quarter mile west of Interstate 35W police said.

A bus and two other vehicles were involved in a collision and at least one vehicle was on fire, said Lt. Kent Worley, Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman.

A Mobility Impaired Transportation Service bus was carrying one passenger who was not injured, a Transit Authority spokeswoman said. The bus driver also was unhurt, she said.

Fort Worth Transportation Authority operations manager Tony Johnson told KTVT-TV of Fort Worth and Dallas that a car stopped short in front of the "T" special-needs bus, was hit from behind and slammed into another car.

MedStar operations supervisor Jeff Popp told KTVT that two people were taken to Dallas hospitals in critical condition, while one was taken to a Fort Worth-area hospital in stable condition.
