Damn those buses are built like tanks.

As the market engineers for more efficient, lighter materials, glad that school buses are beefy machines.

Looks like a rear right point of impact, and the cabin held up well, with that rear axle taking a lot of the force. Lost the bus, but not the kids. Wonder how the one kid got ejected.

Can you imagine being racked out against the window on the opposite side of the bus sleeping off dinner, and then you waking up midair.

Oh, and fuck drunk drivers.

I guess the kid who got ejected is the son of a coworker of mine. I’ll give the family some privacy, especially since it’s a kid, but looks like several broken ribs, bruised lungs and spleen, pelvic fractures (but doesn’t need surgery for the pelvis). Internal injuries are stable.
