Two buses full of tourists collided on Thursday evening in Manhattan.
A collision took place this Thursday, July 6 at 7 p.m. in the New York district of Manhattan. More than 80 injured are to be deplored, 18 of them were hospitalized, without their vital prognosis being engaged, according to the firefighters.
The crash happened on First Avenue near Gramercy Park, New York Fire Deputy Chief Kevin Murphy said. Footage shows an open-top, double-decker tourist bus crashing into the back of another city-operated bus. “Both buses appeared to be full,” said Paul Hopper, an assistant chief of the fire department’s emergency medical service. “We transported 18 patients” to hospital, he said, adding that no life-threatening condition was involved. In addition, 63 other passengers from the two vehicles were attended to by medical personnel at the scene, Hopper said.

“A lot of injuries are just cuts, bruises, scratches, a few suspected broken bones, a few head and neck injuries as well,” he further detailed. Firefighters had to use ropes and ladders to extract passengers from the double-decker bus after one of its doors was damaged, according to Murphy, who declined to comment on the cause of the crash. The nationality of the injured was not immediately known.
