Washington Redskins bus in minor crash on way to stadium, but everyone OK

The Washington Redskins just seem to have a black cloud following them sometimes. Thank goodness this time it wasn't darker.

According to multiple reports on Twitter from Redskins players and team officials, the team's bus was involved in a minor crash on the way to play the Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday morning.

Here's some evidence of the crash from wide receiver Pierre Garcon:

It appears everyone involved with the Redskins is OK. A police officer reportedly was taken to the hospital to treat minor injuries, so it sounds as if disaster was averted.

The son of Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett sent along this other photo:

So what exactly happened?

It appears the bus got off course a bit, and there was some immediate fear that it might be more than just a fender bender.

The police escort missed the exit ramp, 1st bus carrying players and coaches avoided it, stopped and was hit from behind by the 2nd bus

Police escort may be in worse condition but told right now couple bumps and bruises but all looks to be ok. No major injuries on Redskins.

Just spoke to several that were on the Redskins bus. Apparently it was way more than just a small fender bender. Everyone shaken

Thankfully, that was the brunt of the damage. Kickoff remains at 1 p.m. EST.

But linebacker Keenan Robinson is considering alternate modes of transportation for next week's game.

Man next time Ima just take an @Uber to the game
