The injured were
transported to area hospitals but the extent of their injuries
was not immediately known, fire officials said.
The 39-year-old bus driver, one of the six hurt, was critically
injured, a New York Police Department spokeswoman said.
Aerial footage of the crash showed a red passenger bus with the
Resorts World Casino logo emblazoned on it embedded into a large
brick building. The front end of the bus plowed through a
section of the first two floors of the building. It was not
clear if the building was residential or commercial. No one was
in the building at the time, police officials said.
Resorts World Casino, based in New York, uses Trans Express
Inc., a shuttle bus service, to operate its buses.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by today's bus
accident. We are cooperating fully with the authorities in the
investigation," a spokesman for Resorts World Casino said in a
statement.
