The New York Associated Press recently reported that a local fire department has said that at least seven people have suffered injuries after a motor vehicle crashed into a Bronx bus stop.

The Fire Department of New York said that four of the people suffered critical injuries and others had suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash.

According to authorities, a livery cab had collided with a minivan near the bus stop prompting one of the vehicles to jump the curb.  Six of the people that suffered injuries were bystanders, including a few people who were waiting to board the bus.

Police say that the bus accident occurred before noon on Tuesday at Kingsbridge Road and University.  Those who were injured were transported to St. Barnabas Hospital.

Drivers and passengers are at risk of injury any time they are involved in a car accident. While some car accidents are minor fenders benders, others are serious collisions than leave the occupants in the car severely injured.  

Types of injuries a driver or passenger may sustain during an accident can range from minor bruising to brain damage, permanent disability, and even death. One of the most common types of injury is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when the neck is snapped backed and forth due to excessive force. This type of injury is particularly common in rear-end collisions. 

Other types of car accident injuries include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Internal bleeding or bruising
• Brain & spinal cord injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Soft tissue injuries
• Paralysis (quadriplegia or paraplegia)
• Permanent disability
