A bus and four cars collided in the southbound tube of the Lincoln Tunnel this afternoon. All traffic is being diverted to the center tube of the inbound Lincoln Tunnel, which means it will be traffic hell for much of the next few hours. Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman says the crash occurred around 12:10 p.m. in Weehawken after the bus driver apparently suffered a seizure shortly before the New York tunnel exit. According to Coleman, at least two passengers were injured during the collision, but neither injury is life-threatening.
