Two double-decker buses full of tourists crashed into each other today in Times Square, New York. Fifteen people were injured, of which 14 were pedestrians and one was a child in a stroller. Some of the injured were struck by a light pole and some by debris from the collision.

A Gray Line tour bus was traveling southbound on 7th Avenue when it sideswiped a GMC Yukon and a blue CitySights bus. One woman had to pull her daughter out of the way as the Gray Line tour bus came speeding down 7th Avenue.

One of the drivers had to be helped out of the bus, and both drivers were administered Breathalyzer tests, passing just fine.

Authorities are checking surveillance cameras to try and determine the cause of the crash.
