Bus Barrels Onto Sidewalk and Plows Into Manhattan Building

A Port Authority bus plowed into a building in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday, December 11, damaging scaffolding.

Footage recorded by Danielle Singh shows the bus crashed into the building, located just steps away from the Newark Airport Express bus stop.

“I was walking from a dentist appointment and heard a loud boom. I turned to the left and saw this bus with scaffolding collapsed on top of it,” Singh told Storyful. “I called 911 to report the accident and then took this video.”

According to the New York Post, citing police and fire officials, the bus “barreled onto the sidewalk” on the 100th block of East 41st Street around 4:35 pm.

Police told the publication the bus was traveling eastbound when “it lost control” and smashed through the scaffolding and into the building.

One person was transported to hospital in an unknown condition, ABC reported, citing fire officials.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had not released any statement as of Thursday at 8:30 pm. Storyful contacted both for a statement. Credit: Danielle Singh via Storyful
