According to police and firemen reports, the collision happened at a busy sidewalk near 47th Street and Seventh Avenue near the TKTS booth.

"It was like a bomb went off, an explosion. It was terrible. I saw all these people who were injured," a witness told the New York Post.

The crash sent shards of glass and metal flying all over the place, terrifying the tourists on board.

Ida Bailey, an employee of one of the buses involved in the accident, said that she thought she was going to die. "I started praying," she said.

Justin Adams, one of the bystanders on Times Square witnessed a light pole come down onto a baby carriage. "It crushed the baby carriage. I'm just glad the baby didn't get hurt," Adams said.

Adams described the scene as "bloody" because there were others who weren't able to get out of the way of the pole and were knocked to the ground.

During the time of the crash, neither of the buses were carrying any tourists on board.

Police officials who responded to the scene of the accident said that at least 11 pedestrians, including a three-year-old girl, and three bus employees were hurt, but all are expected to survive.
