According to police, the double-decker tourist bus ran a red light as the MTA bus was driving through the intersection when the accident occurred.
“This tour bus behind us seems to have run a red light and t-boned our bus, hit it twice, it was going so fast I think,” MTA Transit President Richard Davey told local outlet ABC 7.
The tour bus driver is not expected to face criminal charges, but the investigation is still ongoing.
