Brooklyn, NY (June 9, 2021) – At 7:50 a.m. on Wednesday morning, June 9, a bus accident with injuries occurred at an intersection in Brooklyn.

According to officials, the accident happened at the intersection of Powell Street and Belmont Avenue. A school bus allegedly came to a stop at a location to pick up children when a vehicle attempted to squeeze between the bus and two passenger vehicles. The vehicle struck the bus in doing so. The driver then fled the scene.

Paramedics and numerous other responders were dispatched to the scene. There were approximately 15 children on the bus at the time of the accident, though only several of these parties were injured.

The roadway was blocked as police cleared the scene.

No further details have been released but the investigation continues.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

Bus Accidents in New York 

Bus crashes are some of the most severe accidents on our roads. This is due to the fact that these accidents involve some of the largest vehicles on our roadways. Though bus drivers are expected to be some of the safest drivers that navigate our roads, these collisions still occur in the blink of an eye due to the negligence of others. Being injured in any type of bus crash can impact your life in a variety of ways. Because of this, you should always have the dedicated help of an attorney on your side.

Nobody is ever fully prepared to face the aftermath of an accident on their own. However, this is the reality that far too many victims face each year in the state of New York, where bus accidents are more prevalent than in many other states.
