A Chaos-Inducing Collision: A Coach USA Bus Crashes into Midtown Building
In a shocking turn of events, a Coach USA bus lost control and slammed into a building in the heart of Midtown Manhattan late on Thursday afternoon. The incident occurred after the bus had dropped off its passengers at 101 Park Avenue, where multiple businesses, including an art museum, indoor golf studio, and club are located.
According to authorities, the driver jumped the curb and collided with the side of the building, causing significant damage. However, it appears that the shed in front of 370 Lexington Avenue, which was already being repaired, suffered minimal harm from the incident.
Miraculously, no passengers were on board the bus at the time of the crash, but the driver was taken to a local hospital for evaluation by officials. The Department of Buildings reported non-structural damage to the facade of 101 Park Avenue and knocked out a gate at the building's loading dock.
Coach USA has released a statement assuring customers that their top priority is safety, stating they are investigating the incident. Despite initial miscommunication from authorities, it has been clarified that Coach USA operated the bus in question.
This unfortunate accident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of driver vigilance and adherence to traffic laws. The incident remains under investigation, but for now, residents and business owners in Midtown can breathe a sigh of relief knowing no one was seriously injured.

This is insane! You'd think with all the tech they have nowadays, someone would've noticed the bus wasn't stopping at the curb 
. I mean, what's going on with traffic laws these days? And to make matters worse, it's a building in Midtown Manhattan - that's a major hub for businesses and tourists! 
️
. And the fact that Coach USA is taking responsibility and investigating is good news 
. I just hope they figure out what went wrong so this doesn't happen again 
.
. Maybe it's a sign to get your priorities straight, like focusing on road safety 
?
. what if those passengers were on the bus? 
. let's all take a deep breath and appreciate how lucky we are that no one was seriously hurt 
this is just crazy! i mean coach usa has a rep for being reliable and all, but accidents happen right? at least nobody on the bus got hurt 
and thankfully it's not too serious damage to the building... 370 lexington can repair itself 
so fingers crossed everything gets back to normal soon 
.
. And yeah, it's good to know nobody was seriously hurt, but seriously though, how do you avoid a curb like that? 
. you'd think with all the cameras around, someone would've seen somethin' fishy before it happened 
. anyway, glad everyone's okay for now 
.
! I'm still shaking my head about the Coach USA bus losing control and smashing into that building in Midtown Manhattan. Thankfully no passengers were on board, but the driver did get hurt pretty badly.
the fact that there were no passengers on board but the driver still gets taken to the hospital is wild why did they have to risk it though 
anyway what's even crazier is that this could've been so much worse if people had been on that bus I mean can you imagine if someone was hurt or something 
! But let's not focus on the chaos, let's look at the silver lining - those passengers were off the bus when it happened, so that's a miracle in itself 
what if passengers were on board?? 
, and thankfully no serious injuries 
to figure out what went wrong 
. this could've been so bad 
. I mean, what's wrong with the roads lately? First, it's a bus crashing into a building, then there's those weird potholes everywhere... it's like they're trying to shake us all out of our seats! 
meanwhile, people are worried about their safety and businesses getting damaged... like what's the point of all this? 
btw, 370 lexington ave's shed was like, totally lucky 
it was just sitting there by the sidewalk and looked up at me with those big brown eyes... anyway back to this bus accident, I feel bad for the driver but what if they didn't have a good GPS or traffic app? like wouldn't that make sense too?
