5/10 Bus accident

I don't know the details but we just passed an accident involving a Disney bus and a car at the entrance to Typhoon. Lagoon.

We just passed it as well. There was a gas leak coming from the bus and a LOT of people in orange vests around. The front of the car that hadn't been moved away looked pretty banged up in the front.

I'm new to this, but is there a new thread everytime there is an accident at WDW? As in any other city of equal size don't they occur on a regular basis?

I don't know about that. I've been to WDW 4 times, 10 days each time and I've never seen an accident there.

Now when I go into the nearest town around here to go grocery shopping I seem to see one every time!

Accidents involving Disney transportation are actually pretty rare. So, yeah, every time there's an accident there will be a tread about it.

Here is the article posted on the Theme Parks board.

Car runs red light, hits bus. Happens in big cities all the time. (yes, the driver of the car ran the red light at Typhoon Lagoon, car driver was cited for this)

In reality, hardly newsworthy. Due to the fact it's Disney, it becomes front page news.

THat's exactly right--and if they could possibly find SOME way to blame Disney for this, they would.

This stuff drives me nuts. Just because Disney has money people will go after them. It was an accident, happens all the time. Maybe a mouse ran across the road and distracted the driver...

1st you say..maybe it was a mouse that ran across the road, certainly you dont mean MICKEY, do you ??

You will really blow my mind to marbles if you tell me there is no Santa Claus !!!

Does Disney have good enough and salaried exempt staff lawyers to win as opposed to settle the lawsuit brought by the car's driver?

Was the driver standing on the corner with head bowed and with lots of remorse, looking at the smashed front of his car and the tow truck jacking up the back, and now realizing that leaving the scene would be via an expensive cab ride?
