11 Injured in Bus Accident at Flatbush and Atlantic

Eleven people were injured after a charter bus had an accident at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues this morning, an FDNY spokesman said.

All of the injuries were minor, the spokesman said.

The spokesman did not have information on the reason for the accident, but said no other vehicles were involved.

The accident happened just before 8 a.m., the spokesman said.

The victims were distributed among Brooklyn Hospital Center, Methodist Hospital and Long Island College Hospital. There were 11 other passengers on the bus who refused medical attention, the spokesman said.

An NYPD spokeswoman confirmed the accident but did not have additional information on it.

Editor's Note: Although an FDNY spokesman originally identified the charter bus as beloning to Coach USA, after seeing News12 video footage of the bus, Coach officials said definitelty that the bus does not belong to them. That reference was removed from the story on Feb. 28 at 5:12 p.m.
