Two NJ Transit buses collided at Port Authority at 6:15 a.m., resulting in a dozen injuries and causing major disruptions. The crash temporarily shut down the terminal, complicating emergency response efforts. One driver suffered moderate injuries and was hospitalized, while eleven others sustained minor injuries. Although service resumed by 10 a.m., travelers faced continued delays of up to one hour, compounded by separate train issues. Alternate routes were created, leading to crowded conditions. The cause is under investigation, with possible medical emergencies cited for one driver.
The crash, which occurred on the terminal's fourth level, temporarily shut down one of the busiest transit hubs in the country, causing significant disturbances.
One driver had to be extricated from a bus and taken to Bellevue Hospital with moderate injuries, while eleven others suffered minor injuries.
By 10 a.m., service at the Port Authority Bus Terminal was back up and running, but delays have continued well into the late morning.
Sources say one of the bus drivers may have experienced a medical emergency, which is still under investigation.
