A Metrobus driver died after a medical emergency that caused a crash at the historic blues barbershop in Riverdale Park.

The F4 bus hit the brick building at 4701 Queensbury Ave., formerly the home of the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation, around 7 a.m. Friday, going all the way to its back wheels.

It also damaged the building at 6108 Rhode Island Ave., formerly home to Riviera Tapas Bar and S&J Restaurant.

The driver was taken to a hospital, but no passengers were harmed, according to the Washington Post. Authorities have not released the driver’s name.

The blues foundation, named for a legendary Piedmont blues guitarist who ran a barbershop near Mount Rainier for decades, moved from the building in 2019 and now meets at 4502 Hamilton St. in Hyattsville’s Arts District.

A coffee roastery made plans to move into the building that year, but they never came to fruition, and the building is currently vacant. County building inspectors are looking at the structural damage, which appeared to be extensive.
