  1. More pics, looks really bad :/ hope the driver is okay. They changed into our lane to overtake a car but didn’t clear in time apparently? Not sure getting mixed stories and I wasn’t really paying attention until the driver hit the brakes.

    edit: very short news article (yeah I know HLN… but w/e). Her injuries are severe but not life threatening.

    ~~edit edit: they updated the article and now it doesn’t mention anything about her state… still hope she’s okay.~~

    Updated again this time again mentioning her injuries not being life threatening

  2. As a passenger of the bus you’re essentially one of the parties involved; do consult slachtofferhulp to talk about it with a professional if you feel the need to.

  3. Hope no-one is seriously hurt.

    That being said; repeat after me… My neck hurts and I have blurred vision and headaches since the accident.

  4. Happened not too long ago in my area. Head on collision between a bus and a guy in a minievan who was street racing against another dude. Was driving my bike when I came across the crash site 5 minutes after it happened. Street racer died on impact and the bent street signs stood crooked for over two weeks without anyone coming to remove them( or some of the glass that was left on the side of the road) A weird reminder for me every time I rode past the sign.

  5. i’ve heard of people getting into arguments with bus drivers but getting into a full front argument with the bus itself is new. hope they’re gonna be alright

  6. I once was hit by a bus (by car). I would say I was also shaken 😀. I hope you were sitting down and not harmed?

  7. I Remember long ago, in Mons, one of those roads that’s adjacent to the ring, with angled parking. I was in a bus, and a car came out, I guess he couldn’t see the bus from the parking spot, and the bus couldn’t break in time. Bang. Hit right into it.

  8. I’m sorry this happened to you OP. Hopefully everyone’s okay.

    To all people saying this was posted for attention: have you ever heard of mental health? About talking? Do you know the concept of therapy? My god some people here are the reason why we are so high in suicide rate.

    OP needed to vent. Venting helps. It’s not ‘klagen’ or ‘zagen’ or seeking attention. It’s a perfectly normal reaction to seek support (doesn’t matter where and this is a fitting place to do so) and write/talk about things, getting it off your chest. You people hold in every emotion until you burst? What age are you living in, the 50s?? Grow tf up.

  10. Public transport in Belgium is pretty wild sometimes, fights on the train, accidents with busses and trams are the craziest of all.
