A motorcyclist was killed in a crash with a school bus in Prince George’s County.

The motorcycle crashed into the front of the school bus, which caught fire, on Brandywine Road at Willow Way in Clinton. Chopper4 showed the front of the bus was charred.

Flames blocked the front door and forced the three students on the bus and the driver to escape out of the back door.

"It just happened out of nowhere. I was stunned," a 16-year old told News4 with permission from his mother.

He had been walking his dog when the crash happened just feet from his house.

"I just see a four-wheeler bike like go, and it was just going normal speed, right? And then I hear a motorcycle, another motorcycle, and I think, 'Oh, there's another motorcycle, they're probably together.' And then I see this motorcycle, and it's going fast," he said. "So, I see his front tire pop."

He said the rider went under the bus with the bike not far behind.

The occupants got out on their own and are uninjured. It’s unclear which school the bus was serving.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
