\n The bus smashed into a glass veranda covering a waiting area. It also smashed a glass
\n wall.\n <\/p>\n

A Fire and Emergency (FENZ)spokesperson said they are monitoring the batteries of the bus, which appear to be smoking at this time.<\/p>\n

Images showed the bus blocking the road, positioned almost at right angles to the road with its nose against the building. <\/p>\n

Parts of the bus\u2019 body came off in the crash, leaving the electric battery compartment on the roof exposed. <\/p>\n

The crash site on Totara Ave is for buses only. <\/p>\n

An Auckland Transport spokesman said: \u201cWe are working with emergency services to make the area safe. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome bus routes will be detoured until further notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Auckland Transport said, in a service alert, stops A, B, C and D at New Lynn were closed until further notice. Stop E remained open. <\/p>\n

Routes 22, 67, 149 and 191 would see their first and last stops at LynnMall\/Brickworks on Veronica St until the disruption was over. <\/p>\n

A police spokeswoman said one person was injured and treated at the scene.<\/p>\n

Police are investigating. <\/p>\n
