Zapping car news Grand Prix for the most beautiful showcar 2021: the nominees
The images of the accident and this articulated bus suspended in the void seem unreal. And yet everything is true and it is a real miracle that the damage is only material.
During the journey, the driver lost control of his bus. Instead of turning normally, it collided with the bridge’s safety guardrail, but the latter gave way to the force of the shock.
The front part of the vehicle was then found hanging in the void while the rear part remained on the road. And that’s probably what saved those present and limited the physical damage to minor injuries.
8 minor injuries
According to local media, this accident caused only 8 minor injuries. Indeed, only the driver was hospitalized for a jaw injury. But nothing serious compared to the scale of the incident.
The bus was brought up on the bridge thanks to a winch placed at the rear and a crane to push the front part. A large-scale operation led by New York police and firefighters.
