A twin-size mattress is reportedly the cause of a bizarre fire involving an MTA bus and six vehicles in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Fire department officials say the bus caught fire Thursday at about 10:36 p.m. on 7th Avenue near the Verrrazano Bridge.
The S53 bus dragged the mattress across the bridge. Metal springs in the mattress apparently punctured the bus’ gas tank setting the bus on fire and spilling fuel.
