I just spoke with @FHPOrlando – they say one bus crashed into the other around 10am. There were 51 total people on board and 15 were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. @WFTV

Disney Transportation has been having its share of issues lately, especially with their monorails. We should hear more around noon today and we will report back with any updates.
Honestly with all the traffic around the resort and bottlenecks at park entrances and whatnot, it’s surprising this doesn’t happen more often.
my wife and I saw this minutes after it happened. sadly I am sure these buses were standing room only packed. this is why we drive everywhere now . if for no other reason safety.
