A dozen people were hurt after at least two two buses collided near Port Authority Bus Terminal Wednesday, snarling midtown Manhattan traffic at the height of the morning rush.

Fire officials say they responded to a report of two coach buses colliding near West 41st Street around 6 a.m. One apparently rear-ended another on a fourth-level ramp. The Port Authority Bus Terminal was shut down a short time later, and remained closed for much of the peak rush. Follow live updates here.

A total of 12 people were hurt, though all are expected to be OK. One was being evaluated at a hospital after having to be extricated from the crash, fire officials said. That individual was said to have suffered "moderate," but unspecific, injuries. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation say one of the bus drivers may have suffered a medical emergency.
