At least 7 people were injured after a New York City accordion-style bus swerved from the road and half of it hung from an overpass.
A police spokesperson said the driver of the BX-35 bus was “unable to navigate the roadway and pulled off the road” near the Cross Bronx Freeway and University Avenue around 11 p.m. Thursday. No other vehicle was involved in the incident and no arrests were made.
Six of the injured were bus passengers and the other was the driver and they were taken to hospital with minor injuries, according to police and MTA spokesman Tim Minton.
The FDNY later said nine people were injured in total. It is not known if the other two are also passengers.
Minton said it was too early to speculate on the cause of the incident. He said the bus driver’s route calls left on the freeway, but for some reason the bus missed the turn.
Videos from the Citizen app show a massive police response to the scene, with many people gathering to take photos and videos.
Delays are expected in the area until a crane arrives to remove the bus from the bridge.
