Waterbury, CT (January 30, 2026) – Several people were reportedly injured early Wednesday morning in a traffic accident involving a city bus along East Main Street in Waterbury.
The crash occurred at approximately 5:52 a.m., according to dispatch communications from Waterbury Police and Fire. Emergency units responded to the scene near an address on East Main Street, where they encountered a city transit bus involved in a collision that left multiple passengers and possibly other motorists injured.
Responders immediately began assessing the injured and coordinating transport to nearby hospitals. The exact number of people hurt and the severity of their injuries have not yet been confirmed by officials, though all individuals were reported to be conscious and responsive during initial evaluations.
