bus

Last October, a 65-year old SMART bus driver fell asleep at the wheel and ended up crashing into 6 cars.

There was only one passenger on board, and miraculously neither she nor anyone else involved was seriously injured or killed.

While the incident happened last year, new footage has just been released of the crash from inside the bus which you can watch above.

Here’s a description of the chain of events after he dozed off from Detroit Free Press:

He crossed the center of the road and struck an eastbound vehicle, according to a West Bloomfield Police news release. The bus then hit a westbound vehicle in the rear, sending that vehicle into the eastbound lane where it was hit by an eastbound vehicle. Continuing its westbound drive of destruction, the bus struck four more vehicles and a guardrail before stopping.

He wasn’t drunk, according to police, but he must have gone to the same driving school as Mr. Piggly Wiggly.

Note: This video has no reason to be five minutes long. All the action is in the first minute and a half.

These were (note: past tense) the advertisements promoting a Welsh bus company's all-day deal for metro passes. While we give them credit for creating equal-opportunity sexy ads, maybe this wasn't such a hot idea to begin with.

Still, it can't be any worse than Seattle's own short-lived "South Lake Union Trolley."
