In the early morning hours of Wednesday, July, just after 6:15 in the morning, two transit buses NJ collided on the fourth level at the terminal at Manhattan.
One bus hit the back of the other in the incoming coach from the Lincoln tunnel and sent twelve passengers and drivers to nearby hospitals with non -threatening injuries. The fire brigade officials noted that the scene of the accident was tight and chaotic, and one driver suffered slight injuries that required rescuers to liberate them with extraction equipment. Because the ramp was clogged with the operation, the emergency crews had to navigate against the flow of cars on the output lane to get the scene quickly.
The second bus accident, which was reported as three buses in some stores, forced the authorities to close the port office during the morning rush and backed the operation around the Lincoln tunnel for almost an hour. The FDNY and Authority port worked closely to clean the incoming ramp and allow ambulances to access the scene. One witness said they were stuck in the tunnel for fifteen minutes and watched the emergency vehicles swarming the upper level. The cause of the collision remains investigated, although local intelligence sources noted that the investigation was caused by the persistent delay in the operation of the bus and the tunnel.
NJ Transit quickly redirected the affected routes to the intersection of Secacus, Newark Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal. Passengers who organize tickets or tickets of NJT buses were recommended that they could use the connecting rail or PATH services in the 33th street on Manhattan and Manhattan. The terminal stripe remained closed for most of the morning commuting, imprisoned commuting and forcing passengers to change plans across the region of TRI -State.
NJ Transit continues to honor these tickets and urge the riders to check the services updates until normal operations are renewed. Meanwhile, investigators are examining bus protocols, driver records and video recordings to determine exactly what caused the accident.
