CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) --
The driver of MTA bus 6614 slammed it into a residential building in Brooklyn Friday morning, leaving six people injured.
It happened around 10:15 a.m. at Ralph and St. Mark's avenues in Crown Heights.
There were no customers on board the B45 bus at the time, and authorities say the driver was making a right turn when he lost control and smashed into the 460 Ralph Avenue building.
He suffered trauma and was rushed to Kings County Hospital. Based on the magnitude of the damage to the bus and the building facade, he must have be speeding.
Five other people who were inside the building or in the vicinity suffered minor injures and were treated at the scene.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, and inspectors from the Department of Buildings also responded to check the integrity of the building.
