Developing: Accident involving NYU bus at Lafayette and East 4th Street

Just after 9 ... on East Fourth Street and Lafayette... details are scarce right at the moment... so we don't know exactly how the NYU bus ended up on the sidewalk next to Astor Wines ... photos via EVG reader Brad212...









More details as they become available...

Via Community Board 3 member Chad Marlow:

"I passed by the NYU bus this morning. Couldn't get too close because my kids were with me and it didn't look good. The bus definitely collided pretty violently with a black car (not certain if private or livery). When I passed by there were two fire trucks and at least one ambulance on the scene. It looked like the firefighters were making an effort to prey open the black car."

NYU Local is working on the story. Per their post: According to a user on Facebook, the bus "looks like it was sideswiped by a car on Lafayette. Windows shattered, Toyota bumper was laying on the sidewalk."

    You can't see it well in the pictures, but the glass on the front loading/unloading doors were shattered on both sides.

    I'm gonna guess the limo driver was at fault here. Those guys are worse than yellow cabs -- they drive like bats out of hell, menacing the shit out of cyclists and other motorists and gunning their engines down quiet streets to make yellow lights.
