3085 Accident (on the BxM2)


Recommended Posts

The impact was that bad, that both airbags in the car came out...

BxM2's were rerouted because of the Dominican Day Parade. For pictures of the parade, see:

Looks like the car rear-ended the bus so the B/O should not get any blame (hopefully). With a big, strong MCI like that with a high rear bumper, it takes very little force to crush a sedan's front end like that...the car could have been going 15 mph and ended up like that.

Why did the car slam into the bus to begin with??

From what I heard, the car went too fast, and couldn't stop before impacting the bus. Probably the lane was very clogged at first, and then the bus stopped, while the car couldn't stop in time, and decided to crash in the back of the BxM2.

 

In other words, it's not the driver's fault.
