All the victims were in stable condition. It’s unclear how many people were on the bus.

Photos from the scene showed the front of the MTA bus was badly damaged and the door of the garbage truck dangling.

No arrests were made and the investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Bus service for that route was running on delays due to the crash.
