Damn. Condolences to her family & strength to the other crash victims.


Been involved in 2 bus accidents myself. Oddly enough - late-90s or early-00s - same bus route (opposite directions) and less than a half block apart. Each time I was sitting in the window seat near back right tire.


First time a lady rolled through a stop sign in making her right turn. Drove into us (ON THE BUS) & then quickly ran aboard asking for witnesses ON HER SIDE to back her up that it was the bus' fault. The driver and minimal number of passengers looked at her like WTF / fuck off.

The 2nd time we were (THE BUS) making a left turn in the intersection and a person ran the red as we started to make our turn. That was scary as they were driving quite fast on a slight bend in the road & downhill. Luckily they weren't injured, nor were passengers. Fair bit of damage to their car & the bus though.

I wonder if the female bus driver had a medical emergency or wasn't paying attention cause it sure looked like no brakes were applied
