Ten Injured in MTA Bus Accident at Northern and Prince in Flushing, New York


FLUSHING, NY — Ten people were hospitalized after a major bus accident in Flushing, New York on Friday, May 2nd, 2014, according to the report from New York One News.

Investigators have said that they have reason to believe ten people were hurt when a MTA bus was struck by a airport shuttle van while driving through the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Prince Street just before 10:00 Friday night.

Scene of the Accident

 

 

Ten people were taken by EMS personnel to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries. Four of the people were listed in crticial condition.

The investigation into the accident is currently ongoing.

Commentary:

It all depends on what happened in the accident, but if the shuttle van was at fault, it may be a good time to talk about the ins and outs of underinsured motorist coverage. Lets say I run my car into a storefront on accident, and I do about a million dollars worth of damages. Well, there is no way my insurance policy would cover that kind of loss, which is where underinsured coverage steps in. Essentially, my policy would be maxed out, and the UIM coverage would step in and cover the rest. This can be especially handy when things like buildings, buses, tractor-trailers or exotic cars are damaged or destroyed in a crash.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
