A New Jersey man, Steven Kdikian, suffered severe injuries when a tire on an NJ Transit bus exploded at the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Wednesday evening, resulting in shattered glass that left him bloodied on the ground. The incident occurred as Kdikian was waiting to board a Route 190 bus, causing him to sustain lacerations to his legs and lower stomach. He described the explosion as a shocking experience, stating, 'I thought I was going to die right there.' While Kdikian was hospitalized for his injuries, a second person also reported minor injuries but refused medical attention. The cause of the tire blowout is currently under investigation, and NJ Transit has indicated it appears to be an accident at this time. Local witnesses described the explosion as loud and chaotic, leading to immediate panic among those present.
