Various people were injured after a passenger bus experienced an issue and was left hanging off an overpass in New York City’s Bronx.

The New York Police Department told WABC that the incident happened at 11:10 p.m. Thursday on the Cross Bronx Expressway at University Avenue.

A total of seven to eight people, including the bus driver, were injured in the accident. Most injuries were minor, though the driver suffered the most severe injuries and is in serious condition.

All have been transported to an area hospital.

Authorities said the operator of the MTA Articulated Bus may have experienced some sort of brake failure or didn’t properly navigate the turn.

The bus went over the rail to the ground below, where it had to be secured by the New York City Fire Department.

Photos show it dangling from the overpass before reaching the ground.

The intersection is now shut down and the bus is waiting to be towed.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident.

This is a developing story.
