The driver crashed the Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus into the fast food restaurant in Brooklyn just after midnight, police said.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment. Neither of the two passengers on the bus was injured.
One of the passengers, Valorie Turner, 60, was a medical worker who rushed to help the driver, she told TV station Fox 5.
“He was moaning; he was saying whatever,” Turner said. “I started CPR.”
Photos show debris and broken glass littering the pavement.
Turner said the bus started speeding up before it crashed, “and before I knew it we was in Burger King.”
