So, I just got to work, and wouldn't normally be blogging from work, but being that the bus I was just on, got in an accident, it seemed worth blogging about while it was fresh.
So, we're driving along, almost to the city, and WHAM! A car pulled out in front of us, apparently not seeing us, and hit the front right corner of the bus.
Being that the bus is large, heavy, has lots of momentum, inertia prevents us from stopping in time and her car basically gets hit, spins a bit, then gets T-Boned by the bus, then spins back out into Independence (4 lane small highway). Luckily no other cars got hit, and she popped out of her car, so it appeared she wasn't seriously hurt.
It was pretty crazy though, to see the bus pushing a car out of the front windshield.
Here is where it happened (A):
And here is a pic of her car from my spot in the bus:
Hard to tell, but a good part of her front end was smashed and her front bumper came off.
Friday starts off with a BANG!

holy crap. that's a crazy start to your work day. go buy a neckbrace and take some time off.
Damn! Glad you are ok! How do you not see a bus???
Aren't you injured? Don't you have to take some time off?
I still think its crazy that you take a bus to work! What a good, green commuter you are. Mother Earth and the polar ice caps thank you.
Glad everyone is ok. How embarrassing that must be for the woman who didn't see the bus coming. I bet she was texting.
