Manhattan, NY (July 24, 2025) – A chaotic scene unfolded Thursday morning when two New Jersey Transit buses collided at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, injuring at least 29 people.

News sources show the crash occurred at approximately 8:50 a.m. on July 24 at the entry ramp leading from the Lincoln Tunnel to the terminal, near the intersection of 41st Street and Dyer Avenue. The impact shattered the front window of one of the buses, sending riders into panic and leaving many on the floor.

Victims were treated for concussions, cuts, and other minor injuries. Some were seen being transported to hospitals in neck braces. According to witnesses, one of the buses may have been speeding just before slamming into the other vehicle.

Officials advised commuters to expect delays and avoid the area while crews worked to secure the scene. The Port Authority Bus Terminal, the busiest in the world, spans from 40th to 42nd streets on Manhattan’s West Side.

Protect Your Rights After an Accident Today

When a crash results in injuries, it’s crucial to take legal steps immediately. Victims often face not just physical recovery, but also mounting medical bills, missed work, and emotional trauma. Consulting with an experienced accident attorney can help protect your rights, secure compensation for your suffering, and ensure responsible parties are held accountable.

Don’t wait to act. Evidence can quickly disappear, and insurance companies may pressure victims into quick settlements that don’t reflect the true cost of recovery. A legal advocate can fight for the justice you deserve and help you navigate the legal system with confidence.
