A SUV and a MTA bus, the B15, crashed in a parking lot at JFK Airport last night, killing one person in the SUV and injuring at least eight others. The accident occurred near Parking Lot 8, "on Pan Am Avenue off Lefferts Boulevard near the employee parking lot, across from long term parking," according to WABC 7.
The Post reports, "Cops said the two people in the SUV were friends who both worked on Delta's ground crew. The passenger died. His name was withheld because his family is in Barbados and could not immediately be notified. The driver, Kareem France, 25, was in the intensive care unit at Jamaica Hospital."
At least six people on the bus were hurt, with two being taken to hospitals.
