Bus vs. SUV

An SUV driver and a passenger on an MBTA bus were taken to the hospital when the two vehicles collided on Hyde Park Avenue around 5:30 p.m. - the driver with a cut left arm, the passenger with a hand injury, the MBTA says. Two more passengers were taken to the hospital for observation.

According to the MBTA, the SUV pulled out of a driveway in front of the inbound 32 bus, at 1715 Hyde Park Avenue. The left front of the SUV struck the right front of the window. The SUV careened through a chain-link fence and down a two-foot drop near an old factory building; the bus's right front window shattered. T police are continuing to investigate.

State and Boston Police sealed off Hyde Park Avenue on either side of the collision until after the last of the passengers was taken away in an ambulance.

Just a question

Is it always the MBTA's policy that "He/She did it!!!"?

I don't think I've ever see them take responsibility for a bus mishap.

Here come 50 "back and neck"

Here come 50 "back and neck" injury claims, even if only 30 people were on the bus.

The image seems to agree with the description of the accident. I ride the bus a lot and see car drivers (and pedestrians) attempt to pull the stupid ass moves all the time. In this case, they lost.

I see people try to cut off

I see people try to cut off buses all the time too. However, I also see at least one MBTA bus a day either: run a red light at high speed, run a stop sign, fly out of the main lot without stopping or looking. I personally think buses are the most dangerous vehicle on the road.
