At Least 11 Injured After Double-Decker Buses Collide in Times Square
At least 11 people were injured after two double-decker buses collided in Times Square this afternoon. Witnesses at the scene said there were "bodies on the ground," but so far no fatalities have been reported. Injured passengers are reportedly being treated at the scene.
The FDNY says the buses crashed at 7th Avenue and West 47th Street, and at least 11 people were being treated for injuries, three of them serious but non-life threatening.
It's not clear what caused the crash in one of the busiest pedestrian areas in New York City. A broken traffic light was seen smashed on the ground, and the front of one of the buses involved in the crash appeared to have caved in from the crash.
