My understanding is the van veered over into the bus's lane. I believe the driver is okay but he suffered a broken ankle, I'm told. (Bus 372, I think.) Don't know if there were kids aboard.

In case there was any question as to who was at fault ...

(No kids aboard. Driver will be out 4-6 weeks with a fractured foot)

Video is from a Vinny's bus dash cam.

Miraculously, the other driver was not injured!!

Anyone want to take an estimate as to the speed of the incoming car after seeing the video and damage ?
Years of inaction and corruption has paved the way for the Devil to ride in and take what he pleases.

To me, the speed doesn't seem excessive. He failed to negotiate the curve. Wipers aren't on so it's not raining ... either texting or dozed off would be my guess.
