NJ Transit Bus Slides Off Icy Hill, Crashes Into Wall

The driver of the bus, the only person aboard, suffered minor injuries

Authorities say an NJ Transit bus with only the driver aboard crashed backward through the wall of a building in Paterson after sliding on an icy hill.

Officials say that the driver received only minor injuries.

NJ Transit spokesman John Durso says the accident occurred at about 7 a.m. Friday at the end of the route for the bus.

The damaged one-story building houses a carpet store, Barefoot Rug. Officials say no one was inside at the time.

NJ Transit buses are running with delays and light ridership as the region digs out from a storm that dumped up to 10 inches of snow in parts of the state.
