Red Light Runner Crushed by City Bus


See video and original article here

I drove this route for nearly three years.

     Unfortunately this accident was just a matter of time in coming.
Please SLOW DOWN around city busses and Big rigs! They cannot stop as fast as your little car. This bus weighs ~67,000 pounds, and where this accident happend, was going down hill at probably 30 MPH. A case of "get_home_itis" can be fatal, the driver of this SUV was VERY lucky.

     From watching the video it appears, the driver of the bus may have put his own life at risk by swerving into the bridge to try to avoid the SUV. There is less than 2 feet between the front of the bus and the bus driver and whatever he/she may hit.

That bus driver is lucky to be alive, and should be considered a hero!
