A commuter bus and four other vehicles were involved in a crash by the Lincoln Tunnel early Tuesday that mucked up the morning rush for many on both sides of the Hudson River, authorities say.
It's not clear what caused the 6:45 a.m. crash on West Street in Union City, near Kennedy Boulevard, around 6:45 a.m.
Five people were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said. An ambulance was visible at the scene. From Chopper 4's view, it appeared the bus and an SUV crashed head-on and the other vehicles were then impacted.
No other details were available.
