WDW Bus vs. Minivan

[Feralpeg]

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've seen drivers cut off Disney buses. I knew that eventually I'd see an instance where the bus would not be able to react in time. Today, I was making a delivery to Wilderness Lodge. A minivan cut off a bus on its way to MK. It was raining and there was no way the bus could stop in time. The bus hit the minivan in the rear. The minivan spun around and was hit on the driver's side. Fortunately, it appeared that no one was hurt. I couldn't hang around to find out much more, but there were a lot of people there very quickly. Tons of WDW security and Orange County sherrif vehicles. As I left WL, I didn't see any sign of emergency vehicles like fire or ambulance. There was a tow truck there trying to pry the van off the front of the bus. All passangers from the bus had been transported on to their destination.

Please folks! Don't pull in close in front of a bus. Not only could you be hurt, but think what could happen if the bus were full and people were standing. No one needs to get where they are going that bad!

Thanks for that information, and I am glad no one appeared to be hurt!

Wow, that is crazy! Some people just don't think of the consequences when they're in a hurry. We were there in May of this year and had a couple of instances where people were trying to beat our bus, and the bus driver had to either swerve a little or hit the brakes pretty hard. I had to make sure my DS5 was either sitting or I was holding onto him to keep him from getting hurt. Thanks for the post!

I can't believe half of the things that I see on the road. Larger vehicles such as buses need more time to break. What's the rush? You're at Walt Disney World!! Slow down and enjoy the moment.
