Bus crash

How's this for an opportunity to be on the scene, take a photo and write about what happened?
I was standing waiting for the train, reading my book and getting impatient because the train was late again when I was distracted by a bus that was travelling at a decent pace across a lane of oncoming traffic.
Just a bit of filling in here, there is maintenance being done on the line further west of ours and they are bussing passengers from other stations to mine in order to get them to work with as little fuss as possible. So we have about 30 buses hanging around the station each morning.
As I watched the bus did a right hand swing straight across the road, through the front yard and into the front room of a house. There was a huge bang and then silence....
Everyone on the station was in shock; I grabbed my handy camera and started clicking away. People came from everywhere to see if the driver was ok. Luckily he had offloaded his passengers about 1 minute earlier so there were no injuries.
The owner of the house was asleep in the very room that has just been aerated. Imagine his shock to be awakened by the front of a Mercedes Bus pushing through your bedroom.
From here he doesn’t look too happy either.
Where is the driver in all this I hear you enquire? I had to wait for the newspaper the next day to find out the answer to that as I couldn’t tell who the driver was from my perch. There was a lot of speculation as to what had happened to him, heart attack, stroke, fit, sleep apnea. The real reason is much more interesting…
Apparently, the driver was urgently called by nature just after he had pulled into his parking spot at the station. Seeing as he was driving a coach he thought he would use the onboard facilities to relieve himself. I’m guessing he either didn’t put the hand brake on or it failed because as he was (no doubt) sighing in relief in the littlest room on the bus, his behemoth vehicle was gathering speed down a slight incline, crossing the double yellow lines and smashing into a dwelling. I would have loved to be a fly on the toilet wall when all that was happening. The newspaper didn’t mention if he was sitting or standing when the bus decided to move but I would assume he was in the sitting position. I can just see him now, sitting there reading the paper, strides down round his ankles. He feels the bus moving and as he would have been wrestling with his apparel etc the bus would have hit warp speed whilst he was indisposed, it would have been too late to do anything except put his head between his legs and kiss his a*** goodbye. It could have been worse…he could have fallen down the side of the toilet on impact and been wedged there until they came in and found him.
As it turned out he was extremely lucky. Just to the left of the picture is a blind corner that is fed by a main road. Not many cars slow down when coming around this corner as there is no pedestrian crossing or give way areas. So it was a miracle that there wasn’t a car coming when the bus went across the road. Also the house didn’t collapse. The front room is a mess but the roof held up and didn’t come down and crush him and last but not least there was an emergency rescue vehicle parked right outside the house. The firemen were in the right place at the right time.
One last thing, the funniest thing, the guy who owns the house is a train driver.
