A reader reports that there was an accident this morning involving the Roosevelt Island Red Bus and an Access-A-Ride van near the Motorgate Garage and sent in the above picture.

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Director of Public Safety adds:
There was a minor accident on Main St. where an Access-a-ride driver apparently had a seizure of some sort, and drifted into the oncoming traffic lane.  A RIOC Bus was stopped and the Access-a-ride bus bumped into the RIOC Bus that was not in motion.  There were no injuries and EMS was called for the Access-a-ride driver.
Fortunately nobody was hurt unlike the incident in September when a man in a wheelchair was run over by an Access-A-Ride van.

UPDATE 4 PM: Here's another view of the accident.
