The crash happened on an entrance ramp near the Lincoln Tunnel exit, a critical traffic point during the morning commute. According to authorities, both buses were carrying passengers when the collision occurred, leading to a major emergency response.

Emergency crews arrived quickly to treat the injured, most of whom suffered non-life-threatening injuries. However, several people were transported to nearby hospitals for further evaluation.
