That Fung Wah bus that is now jammed into the side of the United Commercial Bank at Canal and The Bowery
An entire traffic light has been brought down by this accident. Police are still on the scene investigating.
The impact of the collision caused the bus to go into the plate glass window of the bank, so that's smashed, and so is the bus's front window.
The truck driver took and passes a breathalyzer test on the scene.
