WOODSIDE, Queens -- Surveillance video captured the moment a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus slammed into a storefront in New York early Sunday.

The accident happened shortly after 5 a.m. when 'Bagels Plus' on the corner of Woodside Avenue and 58th Street in Woodside had just opened for the day, WABC reported. No customers were in the store at the time - there were only employees in the back.
