Baltimore Police Badge

Baltimore police are identifying five of the six people killed in a collision between a school bus and a commuter bus.

Spokesman T.J. Smith said in a statement Wednesday that the school bus driver was 67-year-old Glenn Chappell.

Police say there is no indication Chappell applied the brakes as his school bus hit a cemetery wall, a car and a roadside pillar before smashing into the side of a Maryland Transit Administration bus Tuesday morning.

Police also identified 33-year-old commuter bus driver Ebonee Baker and three of her deceased passengers: 51-year-old Cherry Yarborough, 52-year-old Terance Casey and 51-year-old Gerald Holloway.

Smith says police haven't yet reached relatives of another deceased passenger, a 46-year-old woman.

He says three of the 10 people injured remain hospitalized, in fair, serious and critical condition.
