Earlier this morning, an MTA bus collided with a school van transporting children in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Details of the accident are thin, but initial reports say that up to 9 people are injured, most of which are children. The collision occurred just after 8 a.m. when the Q46 bus struck the van. The FDNY says that two critically injured children were sent to Long Island Jewish Hospital with one other child. Three other children were sent to Mary Immaculate Hospital and two more people were taken to Queens General Hospital and to New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens.
NY1 quotes an MTA official that says the bus was cut off by the van. We wonder if slick road conditions made stopping more difficult for the bus.





Countless times I see buses and trucks being cut off.
When it comes to the road people think they are invisible and own the road.
Oh Crap! That's the Bus I take!
Conditions on the street at 184th and Union wer fine this morning, the street was clean and salted last nite.
Oh right, the MTA says the van cut off the bus? I'll believe that as soon as I see MTA employees jailed for murder when they run down old ladies in those huge buses.
