NEW YORK \u2014 Nineteen people were hurt after a bus and fire truck collided in New York City.<\/p>\n

Security video obtained by NBC showed the bus driving through the intersection with a green light. A witness told CBS <\/a>the FDNY truck came into the intersection \u201cgoing at a high speed\u201d and did not have its emergency lights or siren on.<\/p>\n

Both vehicles appeared to swerve to avoid a bigger collision. Photos from the scene showed the front bus windshield was smashed opposite the driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

An investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The bus was carrying more than a dozen passengers at the time of the crash, according to ABC. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are praying for the passengers injured and those receiving medical assistance on site and at area hospitals,\u201d Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n
