i'm ok, everyone!

A rush-hour accident inside the Lincoln Tunnel involving a motorcycle and four three commuter buses caused at least 15 people to be hospitalized and created substantial traffic delays Thursday morning, according to New York Fire Department and Port Authority officials.


The accident occurred around 7:25 a.m. in the Manhattan-bound center tube of Lincoln Tunnel. The motorcyclist, who suffered a broken femur and shoulder, ended up pinned underneath one of the buses, officials said.


Authorities were still piecing together what caused the accident. The collision happened in lanes that were dedicated for buses only, according to an official.


A total of 51 passengers on the buses — two NJ Transit buses and a Monsey Trails bus — were treated for injuries. Officials said 14 of the passengers were taken to Roosevelt Hospital. The motorcyclist was taken to Bellevue Hospital.


The accident shut down part of the Lincoln Tunnel and caused delays of about 90 minutes for those entering the city through the tunnel, officials said. New Jersey Transit bus service reported delays of up to 45 minutes to Port Authority but said buses were no longer being diverted away from the tunnel. (via)
