Resorts World bus crashes on Woodhaven Blvd
From PIX11:
A bus crashed into a building at the intersection of Woodhaven Boulevard and 63rd Avenue Monday afternoon, leaving multiple people injured.
A Resort World Casino NYC bus operated by the Trans Express Bus Company in Brooklyn demolished part of a three-floor building at 2:30 p.m. Monday.
A witness told PIX11 the bus driver was pinned inside and people could be seen climbing out of the vehicle.
EMS reported the bus driver in critical condition was transported to Jamaica Hospital, and is expected to survive. Part of the second floor collapsed, leaving the driver pinned under loose brick, according to the FDNY.
Six people were hurt in total, one person who was inside the building at the time of the crash, according to the FDNY.

Most of those drivers drive really insane.
Yah Bus only lanes were a wonderful idea...
Get rid of the bus lanes!!!
This is what happens when drivers cut and turn in front of buses in bus lanes. I see it every day in Manhattan.
Was it one of those Chinese buses?
I have seen these resort world buses in the city, which can only mean these dumb asshole tourists are actually making the trip to South Ozone Park.
Certainly not to get ices at My Mother's Place II or one of the Borough's few White Castles.
If I am right, then that gaudy cesspool for video game gambling and faux exotic theme restaurants may give actual credence to our dumbass boro president's and lonely planets proclamation of our town being a top tourist destination.
Welcome to QueensCrapistan.
How the hell does a bus go that far off the road did the overworked driver fall asleep ? Something must be done about these Casinos placing their names on these busses when in fact they are farming the work out to the cheap.
Its pure misrepresentation for World Resorts to place their name on a bus some rinky dink company working its drivers to death is operating!!
All these Casinos are now doing this to go around commercial driver log books and crash lawsuits!!
The Governor needs to stop this shit and force these casinos to at least be responsable with the saftey of the sheep they are hauling to fleece
That looks like one of them cheap short wheelbase buses under 18,000 gross weight thats exempt from CDL tests and regulations to drive.
From other news reports, the bus driver swerved to avoid hitting the SUV that cut him off, and ended up hitting the building. The driver of the SUV was issued a summons for making the illegal left turn.

And the bus driver most likely was speeding.
Had to have been going 45-50 mph to have done such damage.
Seeing that massive hole it looks like a demolition wrecking ball hit it. Surely it will be determined that the building will be inhabitable and the residents and businesses will be forced to relocate.
And somewhere the property owners are rubbing their nips and salivating for the ludicrous property assessment for certain friends of The Blaz to buy the lot and proceed to build an 80/20 luxury tumor.
"That looks like one of them cheap short wheelbase buses under 18,000 gross weight thats exempt from CDL tests and regulations to drive."
Nope wrong it was a full length ICC touring bus Subject to all the regulations set forth,,,
