An employee shuttle bus crashed into a concrete barrier at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey early Monday, injuring 13 people.
The crash occurred shortly after 3 a.m. on the Terminal B Departures Level 3 roadway. According to reports, three people suffered serious injuries, while 10 others sustained minor injuries. None of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
Video footage obtained by a news outlet showed the badly damaged shuttle bus still pressed against the concrete barrier in the aftermath of the crash. The front end of the bus appeared crumpled, and glass from the bus door and windshield was shattered.
The injured were transported to area hospitals for evaluation and treatment. The crash prompted authorities to close the Terminal B Departures Level 3 roadway as crews worked to clear debris from the area. Passengers departing from Terminal B were advised to be dropped off on Level 2 due to police activity.
The cause of the crash has not been released, and an investigation is ongoing.
