QUEENS — A truck that ran a stop sign and t-boned an MTA bus in Jamaica left more than 30 people injured Monday morning, authorities said.

The truck driving east on 106th Avenue hit the front doors of a southbound Q112 bus on Waltham Street around 11:55 p.m., according to the MTA and police sources.

Between 13 and 15 people, including the bus driver, reported minor injuries and were transported to Jamaica hospital, according to the MTA and police sources.

Sixteen people who reported minor injuries refused medical attention, according to an MTA spokeswoman.  

Q112 buses will be rerouted to Liberty Avenue and Sutphin Boulevard and delays are expected, according to an MTA alert at 12:42 p.m.

It was not immediately clear whether the truck driver had been accused of a crime, police said.
