A packed Bronx MTA bus slammed into several vehicles on Monday afternoon — injuring at least 7 people and sending passengers into a full-blown panic.
Chaotic video obtained by The Post showed several passengers screaming inside the moving BX6 bus that cops said crashed into multiple cars while traveling west on East 163rd Street around 2 p.m.
“What the f—k,” one passenger yelled during the pandemonium. “Open the freaking door!” another pleaded, according to the clip.
At one point, as the bus appeared to come to a stop, two passengers were seen hopping out of a window to escape.
The 63-year-old bus driver and six adult passengers suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals, cops said.
Photos of the aftermath of the crash captured the shattered windshield and glass doors of the MTA bus.
Multiple damaged vehicles were also left strewn on the street, including a completely crushed blue car with its airbags deployed.
Witness Wilson Albert told The Post he saw the bus operator smash into six to seven vehicles and try “to keep going,” before being stopped by an unmarked police car.
His attention was first brought to the crash by the noise of the impact.
“You could hear the impact from all of them. It was a lot, bam, bam, bam. Every car she hit made noise.”
“It looked like a movie. I thought they were shooting a movie,” he recalled.
Another witness, Mike, saw at least one person being carried out on a stretcher after he hurried outside to find the source of a loud “boom” sound.
“I seen the car on the sidewalk and I seen him putting the guy on the stretcher. I said, damn, I thought he caught a stroke or something behind the wheel, so that wasn’t what it was,” Mike said.
“He was obviously injured, injured bad,” the witness recalled.
The MTA confirmed the incident and said the bus has been taken out of service following the crash.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing, authorities said.
