An MTA X27 bus and a double-decker tour bus collided at East 23rd Street and First Avenue in Gramercy at about 7:17 p.m. Eastern time, FDNY officials and an MTA spokeswoman said.
FDNY sources told WABC-TV that the tour bus ran a red light heading north on First Avenue and T-boned the MTA bus, which had the right of way, in the intersection.
