Newark, N.J., Dhu-AlQa'dah 16, 1437, August 19, 2016, SPA -- Two commuter buses slammed into each other in the heart of New Jersey's largest city Friday morning, killing one of the drivers and injuring 18 people, seven critically, AP quoted authorities as saying. The person killed was the driver of a New Jersey Transit bus that had no passengers when it slammed into the side of another NJ Transit bus carrying about 20 passengers at around 6 a.m. "We're praying for all of those in the hospital," Mayor Ras Baraka said. Jennifer Petrain was opening up a Starbucks about 100 yards from where the accident occurred. She said she heard a crash "like an explosion" and ran outside. She said she and a co-worker brought ice water, rags and a first aid kit. "We were there before anybody was on the scene," Petrain said. "It was terrible. We saw people with head injuries, leg injuries." Investigators were trying to determine if the driver who died ran a red light, Baraka said. -- SPA 19:21 LOCAL TIME 16:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
