Crash Details
An employee shuttle bus crashed into a concrete barrier at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey early Monday morning, injuring 13 people, according to local reports. The incident occurred shortly after 3 m. on the Terminal B Departures Level 3 roadway, as reported by News 12 New Jersey.
According to Eyewitness News, the shuttle bus jumped a curb and struck the wall. This detail was not included in other initial reports.
Injuries and Response
Three people suffered serious injuries, while 10 others sustained minor injuries, according to a report by News 12 New Jersey. None of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening, as confirmed by the same report and Eyewitness News.
The injured were transported to area hospitals for evaluation and treatment, according to WABC-TV. Video obtained by Fox News Digital showed the badly damaged shuttle bus pressed against the concrete barrier, with the front end crumpled and glass from the bus door and windshield shattered.
Roadway Closure and Investigation
The crash prompted authorities to close the Terminal B Departures Level 3 roadway as crews worked to clear debris, according to Fox News Digital. The Port Authority Police Department advised passengers departing from Terminal B to be dropped off on Level 2 because of police activity, as reported by the Citizen App and also noted in the Fox News report.
Authorities have not released the cause of the crash, and the investigation is ongoing, according to Fox News Digital.
How each outlet told it
A framing line is our reading of that outlet's own text — an interpretation, not a quotation and not a fact we assert. Check it against what the outlet published.
AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
