Source: Newark Star-Ledger

The driver of an NJ Transit bus was killed and 18 others were injured, including seven critically, when two buses collided Friday morning in Newark, officials said.

"We're praying for all of those in the hospital," Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said at a news conference near the scene.

One bus struck the other in a T-bone crash at the intersection of Raymond Boulevard and Broad Street just after 6:05 a.m., NJ Transit spokesman Jim Smith said.

The No. 59 bus was traveling west on Raymond Boulevard when it struck a No. 13 bus traveling north on Broad Street. The No. 59 bus was coming from Irvington and traveling to its point of origin with no passengers.
