The Port Authority Bus Terminal has reopened its express bus ramp after an accident that injured at least a dozen people and caused delays for the Wednesday morning commute in New York City.

NJ Transit suspended bus service to the terminal, and traffic was backed up at the Lincoln Tunnel.

Port Authority Police said three NJ Transit buses collided around 6:15 a.m. It happened on the entrance ramp at West 40th Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan.

Twelve people were treated for minor injuries, and one was taken to the hospital for evaluation, according to police. "One patient had moderate injuries and required extrication. Ten patients with minor injuries, they were all transported to local area hospitals. One patient refused medical aid," FDNY Deputy Chief Jason Saffon said on the scene.

5. thanks

was hoping WNYC would update with a print story but since they didn't, I searched for a story that you and other posters hadn't posted. I wanted to get some pics.

NY Post as usual has more pics but they weren't worth the click.

A dozen people were hurt after at least two two buses collided near Port Authority Bus Terminal Wednesday, snarling midtown Manhattan traffic at the height of the morning rush.

Fire officials say they responded to a report of two coach buses colliding near West 41st Street around 6 a.m. One apparently rear-ended another on a fourth-level ramp. The Port Authority Bus Terminal was shut down a short time later, and remained closed for much of the peak rush. Follow live updates here.

A total of 12 people were hurt, though all are expected to be OK. One was being evaluated at a hospital after having to be extricated from the crash, fire officials said. That individual was said to have suffered "moderate," but unspecific, injuries. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation say one of the bus drivers may have suffered a medical emergency.
