Ugh. More bad news.
Two buses collided at the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel Friday. At least 32 people were injured.
Thirty-two people were hurt when two buses collided at the Manhattan-side entrance of the center tube of the Lincoln Tunnel Friday, an accident that sent all but one of the dozens of victims to the hospital, FDNY officials said.
Port Authority says that one NJ Transit bus rear-ended another in the center tube just before 10 a.m. Eight of the 32 victims had serious injuries, but those were not believed to be life-threatening and the other injuries were minor.
FDNY says that 23 of those injured were transported to Bellevue Hospital, while the eight victims with serious injuries were taken to Lenox Hill and Mount Sinai.
The good news? Most of the injuries are minor.
Medics evaluated 31 people from both buses at the scene, an FDNY spokesman said. Seven people suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries. The remaining 25 suffered minor injuries.
