breaking news right now, news 4's dianna russini tweet that the redskins bus has been in an accident in minneapolis, minnesota. we've heard there are no serious injuries to players or staff. a couple of bumps and bruises. take a look at this picture, t spid web on the bus of that one. dianna is joining us on the phone. she's traveling with the team in just outside the city in adina? >> that's correct. i was also not on the bus. the redskins buses leave early to head to the studio to get

prepared. media doesn't usually get there hour. in fact, i'm a little late. i've got to head out there soon. good news to hear, no injuries, no major problems here to report. i did speak to the redskins public relations spokesperson, tony wiley over the phone. he made it official that this was true. in fact, an accident happened. there's going to be effect on the team and there are no major injuries which, of course, is the best news here. the details of how this went down, as i'm told, the police escort, ths a motorcade of what i've seen in the past from other games. i didn't s one this morning. usually they're pretty similar. there's a few police cars and there's usually about six to eight police officers on motorcycles. whatd was they were on the highway and they missed the

exit, the police escort missed the exit. so they trie catch it and get off quickly. and what that did, unfortunately, was cause redskins bus num brakes which caused red skings bus number two to hit them from behind. there's a re big crack on the windshield which you just showed here. i'm assuming that was from bus number one hitting them. speaking the the players and coaches over the phone, everyone seemed pretty upset, pretty rattled by it. i think we can understand how that can be a really scary feeling knowing you're in a bus, we're glad everybody is okay, dianna. from talking with the players and the coaches, at this point what is the sense as far as their mindset for continuing on,

soldiering on. are you getting any indication that perhaps they are too shaken? >> here is how i already know that their mind is already on the game is because i followed up with a few over texts now because they're at the stadium and can't taublg on the phone. they're already talking football. so they're over the accident. they moved oven. they're focused, getting on the field, getting ready to warm up for the game. i think this group now, i'm sure they've cam md down a bit. i wouldn't be surprised if maybe a few are going to be rattled. we have a few hours before kickoff here. in my opinion, just from the ones i speak with and the ones communicating with, it seems everyone is okay here. >> dianna, today is the day rg3 comes back. any idea if he was on one of the buses? >> no. he was not. from what i'm told, he was not. that is good news. there's some reports out there going on -- some stuff going on

this morning about players not wanting rg3 to start and all that is inaccurate. a lot of players went out of their way to make sure the media was aware. they're so excited to have number ten back under center. there's going to be a transition because they got used to these backup guys. if what i can tell, the mind set here is that the redskins are ready to go with the team that's supposed to be are robert at quarterback. dianna russini checking in with us from just outside minneapolis. again, the redskins team bus, two of them involved in an accident this morning, on the way to the stadium along with a police escort that was going there. thankfully it looks like no major injuries. >> no injuries. at this point the team has made it to the stadium and kickoff will go on as planned. we want to turn our eyes to the weather outside. no of avoiding it if you're stepping out 150id.

we're at the lexingt courts apartment complex. good news is, the pepco crews are out here. what happened was the winds took down the top of that tree, brought it down on top of a car. look at this car. take a look at the video we of the vehicle. it was pretty well damaged by that. the good news is now that the lights are indeed back on. we're still under high wind alerts or high wind advisory until ab11:00. those winds could get to 40, 50 miles an hour. we're told it was about a 40-mile-an-hour gust that took the upper bow of that tree down. the good news for the folks who live here is that the lights and the heat are back on. bad news is some car owners have to deal with the insurance company because that tree came down on top of it. we are live in district heights. we are live in district heights. derrick ward, news

after filling out their hogan iquestionaire, aight. hogan was awarded an a- from the nra. but now he refuses to release his responses. the nra opposes corehensive background checks. they want to weaken maryland's gun safety laws. even support letting suspects on the fbi terror watch list buy guns. on gun safety and terror, the nra is wrong. hogan gets an a- from the nra. on protecting maryland, we just can't trust him.

the breathe deep d.c. 5k walk happening right now on the martial mall. >> that's right. we have two people who have been personally touched by cancer, lakisha and ben. i want to start with you, ka la kesha. you are a survivor. you have had a personal struggle. just finding out you had lung cancer was a struggle itself. >> yes, it was. i'm a three-year cancer survivor which i'm so excited about. it was a long journey. it was scary at times, but my faith in god got me here today. i am excited to be here. >> all right. ben, you lost your wife to this disease just this past year. this is your first walk without her. what's today like for her and what do you want people to know? >> well, this is first breathe deep d.c. we've had since monica

passed away in february. it's a bittersweet time. for me, about all i can think about is monica, but i think about her all the time anyway. there's so many people who are affected by this disease that today really provides us an opportunity to make a difference in their lives. if statistics hold out, one in 14 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in their lifetimes. that's not just people like lakisha who are wearing green today. that's you and me. we don't realize we'll be wearing green one of these days. anything i can do to make it less likely that somebody will have to go through what me and monica's family and my family have had to go through this year, that's about all i can do. >> by doing what you're doing today and what you've done in the past year, you are making a difference. lakisha, for you, what's the number one thing that matters most, that you hope people get out of a walk like this? >> what matters to me most being

a survivor, when you're diagnosed with lung cancer, you've got to remember that it is not a death sentence at all. you need to fight for life and just be ready for it. and also, always have your faith in god because that's the number one thing in order to -- once you're diagnosed, that's the number one thing you've got to realize. and i don't know what to say. >> i think you've said plenty. >> i'm just so excited. >> that's what it's all about. your spirit is what the walk is all about for sure. >> yes, it is. >> proof that there's still so much more for us to do and so much farther for us to go. thank you for doing what you're doing to help bo effort. >> thank you. >> have a great walk, guys. >> bye. >> well, we want to head back to minneapolis, the breaking news of the morning. we've been telling you about two redskins tour buses that were involved in a crash on their way

right outside of minneapolis. the two buses right there over on an exit ramp. what we heard from diana was one of the police escorts missed the exit ramp t. one bus stopped and the other one came from behind and actually hit the other bus. so the good news aga looks like there have been no major injuries and all the team officials are telling us that the game will start on time today at 1:00. there was pretty significant damage to the bus here. we talked ab in the picture. you see pictures of players getting off the bus as they get to the stadium. anyone who has been ever involved in a crash, minor or whatever or not -- there's rg3 -- that shakes up your nerves no matter what. they'll have to kind of put this behind them. look at this. redskins boarding the early bugs to the stadium next stop. well, that was from the redskins. that was before it happened. so the players are now starting to get to -- the players starting to get on the bus

actually is what these pictures are from. this is a pregame ritual for players. they go through this routine on game days. they have to get ready, get themselves onto a men tall place. on the way to the stadium, you've seen commercials with the players and when they get on the bus they're wearing the heas be get into the zone. the good news, it looks like everybodt to the stadium there. >> in talking with diana, chef said she spoke with some of the players and coaches and they clearly said this is more than just a fender bender, that they were shaken. she said it wasn't long before they were already talking football. as adam touched on, get back to that zone, we know game time is still going to stay at 1:00 today. the redskins putting out on twitter they are okay they want to thank everyone for st

sunshine coming back later this afternoon. what to wear? these are the rockes in her pockets. hat, gloves may not be a bad idea. here in washington, still a chilly 48 degrees. cameras shaking and that northwest wind still averages 21 miles per hour. temperatures 30s and 40s all over the map first thing this morning. te up to about 50, maybe 52 degrees in town today. most of the suburbs will never cross 50-degree mark on your way out the door. windchills in the mid and upper 30s. that is also going to be the case for the remainder of the afternoon. if you're going out tonight, sun is dow 5:07 this afternoon. by 7:00 tonight, back into the mid 40s, upper 30s by 11:00 tonight. freeze warnings po the west of . freeze watch to the east of i-95. that's going to be a cold start tomorrow morning for sure.

everyone is okay. no major injuries. everyone is safe when you talk about the bumps and bruises, some of that was from the players getting flung because bus number one of the redskins was hit from bus number two when the police escort basically missed the exit. because of that, that caused this sort of small little pile-up. but the team from both the first bus and the second bus are already at the stadium, already working out, warming up, getting ready for the game. there are no changes to kickoff today in minnesota. the good news is no major injuries and hopefully the team will be able to get over the nerves and that feeling of fear that they had noing that sitting on that bus there are no seatbelts. >> tt was my next question. when you spoke with some of the players shortly after this happened you wrote on twitter that they were clearly shaken. year saying they're already in the zone? >> yes, they've all transitioned. everyone is just getting ready for this game now. no one wants to talk about the

accident anymore. the players tweeting the pictures of the ev retweeting them. the team has come together and the other buss from the hotel. the entire team is now over at the stadium. everyone is there safely. >> dianna, thanks so much for reporting. we know you've got a game today get to. that's going to do it for "news 4 today."
