At least 13 people were injured Tuesday, one seriously, after two of the buses which travel through city neighborhoods collided about 4 p.m. The crash occurred near a normally packed sidewalk next to the TKTS booth at 47th Street and Seventh Avenue, police and fire officials said.

Earthcam video from the scene pictured pedestrians running from the crash site moments before a towering pole crashed to the sidewalk, appearing to strike a man in the leg and narrowly missing his head.

One victim of the crash was quoted saying that the bus was unable to stop due to a brake failure and crashed into a pole before hitting the second bus.

Here is a follow up video from CNN covering the story.
