FDNY Members Rescue Victims of Bus Accident

Department: FDNY - [New York, New York]

FDNY firefighters and EMS personnel helped rescue and treat 15 people who were injured when two city buses collided in Brooklyn on January 9 at 6:36 a.m.

One bus crashed into the other from behind at the intersection of Empire Boulevard and New York Avenue in Crown Heights. This pushed the first bus across the intersection and into a tree and traffic light.

When units arrived on the scene, they found one of the drivers pinned in the bus and all the other patients had self evacuated.

The victim was extricated by members of Ladder 113.

EMTs Deo Sukhu and Daniel Almandoz then quickly packaged and transported the victim to Kings County Hospital in serious condition.

The other driver also was transported to Kings County Hospital, as were nine other passengers who were taken in the FDNY’s Major Emergency Response Vehicle (MERV) in stable condition. Four other passengers were placed on back boards and transported to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.
