A chain-reaction crash that left one woman dead Wednesday morning appears to have started when a tractor-trailer driver ran a red light, according to Prince George’s County police. The crash occurred about 6:30 a.m. at Branch Avenue and Surratts Road in Clinton, Md., and also involved a school bus and five other vehicles, police said. The bus driver and two students on the bus heading to Charles Flowers High School were injured along with two other drivers, police and school officials said. The tractor-trailer was headed south on Branch Avenue when it drove through the red traffic light at Surratts Road, police said. The crash shut down traffic in the area for about seven miles, with all lanes reopening nearly eight hours later.
