Sloatsburg, NY — A rear-end collision involving a Trailways bus and a tractor-trailer left eight people with injuries Tuesday morning, October 18, 2011. The crash occurred on southbound Interstate 87 at 5:35 a.m. in Sloatsburg, reported LoHud.com.
According to officials, the Trailways bus was transporting 16 passengers from Kingston, N.Y., to the Port Authority bus terminal in New York City when it rear-ended the semi-truck on the New York Thruway, about two miles north of Exit 15A.
