Well we can say I'm the crash test dummy and walked away w/o a scratch - Page 3

The details of the crash are pretty sketchy, but the main thing is, nobody was hurt.

Gearslammer · 08-19-2016, 11:28 PM

Oh man, that sucks. Al O should be thanked since eating metal is an unhealthy proposition. I am driving much more cautiously in California since people are driving crazy fast and no CHP much anymore. I see cars going by at 100 all the time.

Damn man! Glad you are ok.

gippy87 · 08-20-2016, 01:01 AM

the only way i can make sense of what happened based off what was said and the pictures is that he was driving along and the bus ran a stop sign causing him to tbone the bus.

JaxChris · 08-20-2016, 02:20 AM

Driver going down primary road with right of way. Bus attempts to cross primary road. Bus doesn't have enough time or throttle to clear out of way of traffic. Driver steers left as the bus crosses his path, bus is heading right. Camaro doesn't get far enough left and an off-center impact on the rear of the bus occurs.

Damage does support his story, he just didn't explain it very well. Driver looks like he was doing 50-55 when it hit the bus and the back end swung out to the left. The initial impact shoved the buses bumper across the back (sending it down the primary road the Camaro was heading down).

Cars can be replaced, however as annoying as I can be I can't haha😂😂. I'm thinking maybe I should get back into the truck game. Me and cars don't seem to be getting along.

Glad you are ok man, the car is history, wow!
