Yonkers, NY (November 26, 2025) โ More than a dozen people were hurt following a collision between a car and a Bee-Line bus on Saw Mill River Road sometime before 8 p.m. Wednesday.
A spokesperson for Westchester County confirmed that the head-on crash occurred when a car reportedly swerved and struck the Bee-Line bus. In total, 13 people sustained injuries in the incident.
This is currently a developing story, and law enforcement is working to determine the full circumstances of the crash.
Understanding Claims Against the Bus Carrier in New York
Accidents involving public transportation, such as the Bee-Line bus operated by Westchester County, introduce time limits that are much shorter than standard car crash claims. For any injured bus passenger or victim, the most important deadline is the 90-day Notice of Claim.
Under New York law, a formal Notice of Claim must be served on the relevant municipal agency within 90 days of the accident date. Failure to file this notice exactly on time can result in the forfeiture of the victim’s right to pursue compensation for their injuries, regardless of the cause of the crash.
Liability in a crash involving a bus is complex, often involving the third-party car driver and the bus operator itself, which is held to a higher duty of care. With 13 people injured, the case demands immediate investigation to preserve evidence and determine fault before the 90-day window closes.
