Here's what happened after the MTA bus crash and the driver's update

The two cranes worked together to pull bus to solid ground. The firemen also helped in the work, per Pix11. Despite the chaos, the police confirmed safely removed the driver from the bus. The 37-year MTA veteran was unharmed.

Also, Marcos Soler, president of the Yonkers Depot, spoke to ABC 7 News about the terrifying incident. Soler said the car parked on the road reduced space for MTA bus drivers.

"The way the car is angled and parked doesn't hug the curb, so it limits the space we had. The buses are longer than the local buses. So it's a little difficult for the express operator to move because we're 45 feet and the local buses are 40 feet." explained Soler.
