Video – Brooklyn MTA Bus Crash Caught on Camera
CROWN HEIGHTS [WABC] — Eyewitness News has obtained dramatic video of an out-of-control New York City bus barreling down a Brooklyn street, crashing into cars and weaving a path of destruction.
Six passengers on that bus had to be treated for injuries after the crash.
The incident happened in Crown Heights.
The security video plays like a expensive Hollywood crash scene, but this was the real deal.
Andrew and Arthur Blaise own the Essence Bar, and it was their mounted surveillance camera that captured the dramatic moments of the crash and, perhaps more critically, the seconds before the bus plowed into six cars before hitting at least four more on busy Atlantic Avenue.
New York City Transit’s Initial Investigation found that it wasn’t the bus driver’s fault. Officials say the whole thing started with a car coming to an abrupt halt in front of the bus. The driver then swerved to avoid coming in contact with that car, hitting all the other parked cars before continuing into the intersection and hitting another car.
But the tape shows a number of cars slowing to a stop before the intersection. A white SUV can be seen stopping, and a white car behind it also comes to a halt before the bus slams into it. The bus hit with such force that two of the cars struck burst into flames, sending drivers leaping for safety and passerbys rushing to help.
Storeowner Zolfed Ceman says the line of cars waiting at the light on Troy Avenue usually backs up right in front his new store, Action Distributors. He estimates the bus was traveling too fast to stop safely in time.
BS D
omg that is crazy
Stop them
There were a number of pedestrians in our community injured by citi buses, (exampe lefferts turning from troy)
These bus drivers drive like animals cutting off cars and people. (Just like some other reckless brooklyn drivers)
When they do crash the police dont show up until alot later and they try to change the incident in order that the city should not have to pay for their damage!
nice vidoe
nice catch
What?
To me it looks like the driver fell asleep or Just lost the brake
He Just keeps on going

Y r they all runing from that car?
law?
“It wasn’t the MTA drivers fault” let’s read that again…
it wasn’t the bus driver’s fault… the whole thing started with a car coming to an abrupt halt in front of the bus…
So what’s that about rear-end accidents being the following drivers fault, as it’s his responsibility to maintain a safe driving distance????
