A Queens man who was driving drunk after a night out on the town rammed his car into a city bus early yesterday and injured 16 people, one critically, police said.
David Cho, 25, ran a red light in his Nissan Maxima and careened into the Q65 local, cops said.
Fourteen of the people on board, including driver Ernie Lamboy, 45, were taken to the hospital, mostly for minor injuries.
Cho was heading east along Booth Memorial Avenue when he allegedly ran the light at the intersection of 164th Street.
He tried to make a left when he smacked into the front corner of the bus, cops said.
Cho is under arrest and is being treated for minor injuries. A passenger in his 1995 Maxima, Tung Ma, 29, was in critical condition at New York Hospital Queens.
