NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – An MTA bus collided with a truck on the Upper West Side on Thursday morning in a crash that left 13 people injured, officials said.

Multiple patients were transported to either Mount Sinai Hospital or Mount Sinai Morningside shortly before 1 p.m., the FDNY said.

None of the 13 injuries are considered life-threatening, according to fire officials.

The MTA confirmed an M11 bus was involved in the crash.

Just weeks ago on July 23, 10 people were injured when a minivan crashed into an MTA bus and burst into flames. And on July 6, 27 people were hospitalized after a double-decker tour bus crashed into an MTA bus that had the right of way in Gramercy.
