Coach USA Bus Crashes into Midtown Building
In a shocking incident that sent shockwaves through the bustling streets of Midtown, a Coach USA bus careened out of control and slammed into a building late Thursday afternoon.
Eyewitnesses reported that the driver had just dropped off passengers at 101 Park Avenue, before losing control and mounting the curb. The vehicle then struck the side of the adjacent building, causing significant damage to its facade. Miraculously, despite reports of nonstructural damage, there were no casualties on board.
However, the crash did take a toll on nearby businesses. A sidewalk shed in front of 370 Lexington Avenue sustained considerable damage from the impact, although it's worth noting that the structure was already being repaired at the time of the incident.
The driver of the bus was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment, after police confirmed there were no passengers on board. Coach USA has since released a statement expressing their commitment to ensuring the safety of their customers, team members, and road users alike.
As investigators continue to probe the cause of the crash near Grand Central, officials have emphasized the importance of prioritizing public safety above all else. While some minor damage was observed at 101 Park Avenue, it appears that the extent of the destruction was limited by chance rather than design.

! I mean, can you even imagine if someone got seriously injured on that bus? 
The driver's loss of control is still super mysterious to me though... I'm kinda wondering if maybe the bus just broke down or something and then they panicked 
. Anyway, Coach USA should really double-check their drivers' skills ASAP 
. This whole thing is still a bit too suspicious for my comfort 
.
!! i mean its good that no one was on board but like how did the driver even lose control in the first place? 
coach usa is being super responsible about it, releasing a statement and all, but i'm still wondering what really happened. and can you imagine if someone was actually on that bus? 
it's like something from a movie! luckily nobody got hurt on the bus, but that shed in front of lexington avenue is GONE 
i'm kinda surprised there were no casualties tho, you know? anyway coach usa should totes do an investigation and figure out what went wrong 
.
I mean I guess it's good that the driver was taken to the hospital for evaluation but how are they going to get them back on the road if they're not even sure what happened?! 
. Can you imagine?! 
. It's great to see Coach USA owning up to their responsibilities, though. Fingers crossed they figure out what went down so it doesn't happen again 
.
. One minute you're driving safely, next minute you're careening outta control and smashing into a building 
.
coach usa should really be extra careful with their drivers need to review their safety protocols ASAP 
can't believe this happened! I mean, it's crazy to think about how a simple mistake on the driver's part could cause so much chaos. Thankfully, no one got hurt which is honestly the most important thing right now 
. But, you know, accidents like this make me super grateful for those traffic cameras that can help catch what happened 
.
. Grand Central's got some 'splainin' to do... or maybe they just need to lay down some better bus lanes 
. what i don't get is how did they manage to lose control of the bus in a crowded area like midtown?! seems super irresponsible to me 
. anyway, glad no one got hurt but can we pls make sure something like this never happens again? 
hope they can recover from this. and yeah, safety first for Coach USA, good on them for acknowledging their responsibility 
. Grand Central is so busy, I can imagine how freaky it must be to have a bus crash there like, what if more people were on the bus?! 
but like i guess the good news is no one was hurt on the bus, fingers crossed they get to the bottom of what happened and fix this problem once and for all 
. And what really gets me is the state of our roads - it's clear that we need better infrastructure and some decent maintenance to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening in the first place
