Report: Members of King family involved in wreck after rally

A charter bus carrying relatives of Martin Luther King Jr. was involved in a minor wreck Wednesday afternoon in Washington, D.C., TMZ is reporting.

But a spokeswoman for U.S. Park Police told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution it had not been confirmed that King family members were on the bus.

The family was in Washington for ceremonies honoring the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
