14 injured, 2 buses and light pole damaged, driver declared hero mechanical failure August 5, 2014 Times Square Double Deck Bus Crash Under Influence Drugs The driver of a double-decker Gray Line tour bus William Dalambert was arrested and charged with driving while under the influence of drugs. His bus entered the theater district at high speed and struck another parked double-decker bus, downing a light pole and injuring 14 in Times Square in New York City. The driver was previously arrested in 2008 for issues with child support payment.

Police failed him on scene on a sobriety test, but be passed a full drug and alcohol screen test performed later.
