bus plows through traffic jam
#17
I'm so going to hell (if I believed in that sort of thing anyway), but after I watched it the first time through, a sudden realization that the black van that "runs" from the bus is in fact quite funny when Benny Hill's theme is played over it. Aside from that, horrible accident, and it's scary when you realize how many taxi, bus, commercial passenger jet operators are all probably seriously lacking in sleep, or a combination of that and methamphetamines.

2009-10-15
Changhua County in central Taiwan in a serious car accident, a bus on the highway suspect failed to stop, from behind and crashed into 14 cars, killing at least four persons were killed and nine others injured.
Where the fire occurred in central Changhua County, a highway, the vehicle crashed into a mess, the impact, the majority are private cars, are also a hit to the escort vehicle overturned. The bus hit the car, other cars and then collide with each other, causing serious casualties: "We should fast, because it is far from the sound heard an explosion, and then did not think that I would be so far away from him hit."
The bus accident carried more than 10 passengers, all was not injured, this bus is point to point connection in all counties and cities, without stopping, to the highway speed very quickly: "Left hit the right hit, has been hit."
Bus is less than a year of the new car, the driver claimed that the brakes failed, police said the scene of road sections before 1:00 tanker overturned and closed some of the traffic lanes causing traffic congestion, the drivers no attention to the road surface, and tailgating.
Three injured persons were rushed to nearby hospital for treatment, a slightly injured in a very anxious mother recovered the same car, but my mother sent to another hospital, rescue dead.
