Mother Injured Taking Stroller Up Bethesda Metro Escalator

A woman was injured Tuesday morning when she attempted to take a stroller with her twin sons up the Bethesda Metro escalator, the Washington Examiner reports.

The incident happened just before 9 a.m. Tuesday, according to the report. The woman fell as she was holding the stroller, a Metro spokeswoman told the Examiner.

She was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and the boys' father declined medical attention for the children.

Metro discourages riders from taking strollers or bicycles on the escalators, but the elevator at Bethesda is which may have prompted the woman to attempt to navigate the escalator with the stroller, the Examiner reports. Free shuttle bus service is available from Medical Center for riders who aren't able to use the escalator.
