According to NJ Transit, the bus struck the back of a disabled NJ Transit bus that had no passengers on board.

Four people were hurt, and two of them were hospitalized. One person was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital with serious injuries, and another was taken to Virtua Voorhees Hospital.

Three people suffered minor injuries and they were treated at the scene.
