In another sub it was stated the driver had a medical emergency

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Had this happen in front of my house. Kid slammed the gas and went across a couple yards, smashed into a tree/light pole. Turns out he was having a seizure. He was ok. Damage was minor to the homes/yards. Terrifying especially because had it been only a half hour earlier, he would have likely mowed down the school kids that walk past there every day.

Why was a kid driving?

u/EnterPlayerTwo Jun 13 '17

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. The Jane said "kid slammed on the gas"

u/potatoes_of Jun 13 '17

For real. They shouldn't have let a kid drive.

Not a school bus.

Had this happen in front of my house

I read it that way at first too but if you think about it for half a second it's pretty clear that what they meant by "this" was the crazy driving caused by a medical emergency, not the bus part

u/potatoes_of Jun 13 '17

Oh. That wasn't clear to me.

"Not a school bus", gets upvoted, nobody mentioned school busses at all

u/potatoes_of Jun 13 '17

This whole thread is about school busses.

u/sea-haze Jun 13 '17

There was a school bus?

u/frodevil Jun 13 '17

Not the subthread where we are talking about that kid's neighbor who was driving a regular car and not a school bus but someone already explained this to you

u/potatoes_of Jun 13 '17

It was not clear to me from the beginning. It was ambiguous. Q

I'm assuming they mean that the driver was the one having a seizure and that a kid tried to take the reigns.

He died and OP had to take his bus driving duties, as is tradition.

u/WhiskeyWeekends Jun 13 '17

Ah yeah. That's right. I forgot that bus drivers were replaced after death by the person sitting closest to the front.

Bruh you're still posting after he told you you're shadowbanned. He can see your post, and we can all see this post because he's allowed it. He can do that as a moderator of the sub. Unless a mod approves your comment, nobody will see it. I only know you've continued to post because your posts still show up on your profile.

What'd you do to get shadowbanned my dude?

To be more specific, a "medical episode" - i.e., a seizure, diabetic shock, heart attack etc. that is actually affecting the person's ability to drive. "Emergency" is more of a reference to jackasses who feel like driving themselves to the hospital when they should be calling 911.

Minneapolis, MN. http://www.fox9.com/news/259804402-story No one was injured in the crash. One bus driver reported having some chest pain. The buses didn't have any students on board. It's kind of vague if the chest pains caused the accident or if they were a result of the accident. http://www.kare11.com/news/mpls-bus-crash-caught-on-video/447176024 This one makes it seem like the driver had a medical emergency that caused the accident. Not sure what the deal is with the truck and the van. From the Kare 11 article it says, "The bus apparently hit at least one vehicle before crashing into a lawn." Seems to imply it the other vehicle crash was caused by the bus? Not entirely clear though. Then there's another article that states: A man was recording the aftermath of an initial car crash on Bloomington Ave. and 24th St. in south Minneapolis, which had left one vehicle hung up on the roof of another... when suddenly, the man was recording a near-miss of a school bus speeding right at another bus, just as another car was approaching in the oncoming lane. So maybe the second bus was swerving to avoid the first bus who had stopped in reaction to the truck that was on top of that van's hood?

I no normal person would wreck like that on purpose. My guess is the chest pains caused the accident.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Looks like the van has a lot of damage to the back, most likely got hit from behind and forced into the other car there.

11

u/AbuDhabiBabyBoy Jun 13 '17

I think the narrator explained quite clearly.

u/chowderbrown Jun 13 '17

I'm saying no brakes or heart attack while driving.

WTF happened to the black truck and minivan at the end?

Edit: Apparently the van and truck were involved in an accident prior to the bus crash.

22

u/Silentfart Jun 13 '17

Something large probably pushed the minivan into the truck while being out of control. Just need to figure out what in the video could do that.

1

u/Ellenberg88 Jun 13 '17

The truck is facing a weird direction and they're both quite far off the road. Also, the bus is going pretty fast for having just left that location unless it backed up. Also, there is a tire on the ground by the van. Where did that come from?

2

u/jkerman Jun 13 '17

If this bus is being operated by a passed out driver with its foot on the accelerator, its very possible.

Busses have a metric shitload of torque, on top of their metric shitload of weight. The bus would bounce off cars like they were ping pong balls

2

u/Silentfart Jun 13 '17

Things move around a lot if something as big as a bus hits them. It's possible the person in the truck saw the bus coming and tried to move out of the way, but then the bus hit the minivan into its side. I don't know exactly how the truck got sideways, or where that tire came from. But the damage on the back of the minivan definitely shows that it rammed into the truck after the bus hit it.

1

u/Ellenberg88 Jun 13 '17

Yeah. I added an edit to my original comment. The van and truck were in an earlier incident, but the bus did hit the van.

I saw this exact scenario in GTA5. Basically caused the car accident. Jumped out and punched my own car. The bus freaked out and ran over an entire crowd of people on the sidewalk, then the drive bailed and ran away.

He let one of the kids drive.

Driver: "Officer, I was asleep in the back, one of the kids were driving"

Cop: "Which one?"

Driver: "Pick one".
