NEW YORK (AP) — An articulated bus dramatically plunged off a bridge in New York City late Thursday, leaving its front half hanging over a highway ramp, its fall broken
Seven passengers suffered minor to non-life threatening injuries, according to the New York City Fire Department. The passengers and the driver were taken to hospitals for treatment.
“The bus fell approximately 50 feet on to the access road. The patients suffered injuries consistent with a fall from such a great height,” Deputy Fire Chief Paul Hopper said in a social media post.
Firefighters will secure the fuel and any other hazardous materials before pulling the bus fully on to the road, Acting Battalion Chief Steven Moore said in the post.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
