MTA bus crash leaves vehicle dangling off Bronx overpass; driver rescued safely

An BxM1 bus hangs precariously off an overpass at Kappock Street and Henry Hudson Parkway in the Bronx’s Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood on Friday morning.

An MTA bus driver was safely rescued this morning after a crash left the front of the bus precariously hanging off an overpass in the Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood of the Bronx.

The incident occurred at approximately 8:32 a.m. at the intersection of Kappock Street and the Henry Hudson Parkway, according to an MTA spokesperson. The MTA driver, who was operating a BxM1 bus, crashed while attempting to avoid a double-parked car, according to reports.

The bus had no passengers on board at the time of the crash. No injuries were reported, and first responders were able to assist the driver to safety without complications.

Images from the scene show the bus’s front half suspended over the edge of the overpass.  Emergency personnel secured the vehicle to prevent further movement during the rescue and recovery process.

The exact circumstances leading to the crash remain under investigation by the MTA and local authorities.
