According to The Hill, the accident occurred at around 4:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon and resulted in 18 people being sent to the hospital.

Lounge passengers were evacuated by rescue personnel

The website explained that the lounge was transporting a group of passengers to Concourse D when it made contact with a dock.

The Metro Washington Airports Authority's (MWAA) oversees Washington Dulles International Airport as well as Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and it provided additional details of the event.

MWAA media relations official Crystal Nosal explained that the passengers were evacuated fire and rescue personnel, with 18 being hospitalized for "non-life threatening injuries."

The airport's website states that it is equipped with 19 mobile lounges which are capable of carrying 102 individuals,  71 of whom can be seated.

The lounge incident was far from being the only aircraft-related accident to take place in recent days, with a far more serious incident also occurring on Monday.

As ABC News reported, a father and daughter died in a plane crash as they were attempting to transport hurricane relief supplies to Jamaica.
