If thats the bus that it hit.... Damn. Barely a dent.

Can't be, it has to be the camera angle. No way there's only damage like this to the bus.

that has to be the bus, look at the red bumper under it..

Bus - 1
Toyota - 0


wow.. imagine your the car next to it when it slammed into the bus..

Manufacturer: New Flyer
Model: D40LF
Year of manufacture: 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995,1996,1998
Cost:$250,000-$343,000
Dimensions:
Length: 12.4m
Width: 2.57m
Height: 3.1m
Gross vehicle weight:17,200kg
Engine: Detroit Diesel, 250/275hp
Transmission:Voith, 3 speed automatic


Toyota Collora curb weight == ~1000 kg

That's the reason why

The trolley buses are freaking heavy. Check Translink's fleet data:

The regular ones are 14200kg TARE and 19200kg GVWR. The articulated ones are even heavier at 19800kg TARE and 29000kg GVWR. When you hit something that heavy, good luck.

That doesn't make the other people innocent.

How the fuck did they build up that much speed during such a busy time of day? In my mind, the driver probably tried to pass on the right lane where the bus stopped.

The mass of the bus is why I yield and avoid travelling along side. Scary ass bus drivers some times don't see you.

That is the bus. Damage was completely on the right corner/ just behind the wheel well. Looks like the corolla tried to mount the sidewalk in a last ditch effort to avoid.

You can't see it from that angle but the back right panel is almost folded in half and that corner is very crumpled. The hardware inside the compartment which is mostly electronics was all bent inside.

rip

does alberta have no speed limit? Maybe they are used to long straight roads
shared tractor trailers and donkeys

In a Corolla too... Those things are so flimsy and weak that when i kicked a door close lightly there was a dent.

Driving like a retard, in a family Corolla, in the middle of rush hour...and couldn't pay attention to something the size of a bus....

Fucking idiot driver.

playing need for speed in a Corolla during rush hour,Too bad there's no reset in real life,buddy.

nope but it sure makes them helpless

Darwin prevails

Those things have 2000+ ft lbs of torque!!!!!!!

weird thing is, it was a Hutterite family from Alberta that was in the accident. they're kinda like the Amish. and the mother was driving. not the son. very strange. rush hour. swerving. i'm wondering if there's a possibility that any of Toyota's recalls have anything to do with the crash.

a C-lai was driving 100+ on city streets?

imagine the Corolla bounced onto the middle lane instead of the curb, or if someone is waiting to cross... :failed:

I wonder if they'll ever figure out the reason for such reckless operation of the vehicle. Maybe there was a mechanical malfunction...can't really explain it otherwise.

Mechanical malfunction... Lol. You mean the car suddenly accelerate and the brake suddenly stop working? That's comical. For such a slow ass car to build up that much speed is no mechanical failure my friend. It's brain failure.

it must of been the ghosts....

natural selection at its finest

RIP

but honestly.. ya.for a mom to drive that fast.....

What year corolla was that?

looks like the ones they use for driving exams, 2002 to 2007ish?

Remember the Corolla hit a bus.....the energy of the corolla moving doesn't doesn't effect the bus much. Like running into a thick concrete wall.
