NY Port Authority bus terminal closed due to multi-bus crash
The collision occurred at the terminal in Midtown Manhattan, near West 41st Street, around 6 a.m., News 12 reported. It left at least a dozen people injured, including one who was transported to a hospital for further evaluation.
Their exact conditions were not provided, but they are all expected to recover.
'New York Port Authority Bus Terminal is closed due to a multi bus accident,' NJ Transit said in a post shared on X just after 8 a.m. 'NJ TRANSIT bus service traveling to and from the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal is being diverted to Secaucus Junction Newark Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal.'
From there, commuters will have to take the PATH into the city. Trains will also be making additional stops at Secaucus to accommodate affected passengers, the agency said.
All NJ transit bus tickets and passes will be cross-honored by NJ TRANSIT rail, New York Waterway at Port Imperial and by PATH at Hoboken, Newark Penn Station and 33rd Street New York.
While the cause of the crash remained unclear, a source told NBC New York one of the bus drivers may have suffered a medical emergency.
An investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Could the Electric Hydrofoil Ferry Change the Way We Commute?
During the golden age for ferries in the 1800s, steamboats dotted the shorelines of coastal cities to transport passengers. Then cars and trains took over. Now, driven by congestion and the revitalization of urban waterfronts, ferries are making a comeback. 'We see it as a blue superhighway that is still untapped,' said Geoff Symonds, chief operating officer of Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, a ferry network based in London. Ferry commuting scores higher on customer satisfaction surveys than other modes of public transit, offering amenities like ample seating, space for bikes and breathtaking skyline views, and it was the first to return to prepandemic ridership levels in cities like New York, San Francisco, Stockholm and Auckland, New Zealand. What operators struggle to offer, however, is a fast, sustainable mode of transit. 'Commuters want speed,' said Jakob Kuttenkeuler, a professor of naval architecture at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Over the last few months, however, Stockholm has been testing a vessel that may solve that problem: the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

More than 20 are injured including 1 seriously when bus flips over in northeastern Germany
BERLIN (AP) — A bus carrying travelers from Denmark to Austria skidded off a road in northern Germany and flipped over on Friday, injuring more than 20 people including one seriously, police said. The bus, operated by Flixbus, left the Autobahn motorway in the pre-dawn hours on an exchange leading to the city of Röbel, about 140 kilometers (85 miles) north of Berlin, police said. The cause of the accident was under investigation. 23 people were injured on the bus carrying 53 passengers and two drivers from Copenhagen to Vienna, according to Flixbus. Rescuers took about two hours to extract one seriously injured victim. Emergency services, the fire brigade and a rescue helicopter responded. Authorities sealed off the area of the road throughout Friday morning. Flixbus expressed 'great dismay' that the bus crashed and said it was working with authorities to determine the cause of the incident.
