.... that bridge into the river below. Because the bus driver missed a stop and a woman got up and hit the driver with her cell phone and he hit her back. The driver took his attention off the road and drove off the bridge into the river below. Everyone on board the bus died.

Saw a gif on /r/idiotsincars earlier today where a bus literally did a three-point-turn in the middle of a highway overpass.

Well it looks like she got to her final stop. Unfortunately, she ended up killing more people. Also, in the gif, I noticed that theres a little sedan that stops in the foreground and turns around with the bus? What was that about?

China has no end of tragic yet utterly ridiculous automobile accident stories... granted, I guess the US has quite a few as well, but it barely scratches the surface.

I'm guessing there was a traffic jam up ahead and they decided to turn around.

I remember hearing about this. It might have been on this very board. But I can't remember where I heard about it. I just remember hearing about it. It's dark...

A woman who attacked a bus driver after she missed her stop was partially responsible for a dramatic crash in southwestern China that killed all 15 people on board, an investigation by Chinese authorities revealed Friday.


The 48-year-old woman then attacked the driver with her cell phone, while he fought back with his right arm.
When she struck him again, he abruptly turned the steering wheel left, swerving into oncoming traffic before crashing into the railings on the side of a bridge -- screaming can be heard as the video stops.


PARTIALLY? How is that partially responsible? She attacked the driver while he was operating the bus! It's entirely her fault. She's dead now, I don't think placing the blame where it's due will hurt her feelings or anything.

Also after reading that other link....wow...never go near a Chinese road...

I do feel she is entirely at fault but do wonder if protocol call for the driver to stop the bus to deal with rowdy passengers instead of continuing driving.

Good grief. Fine woulda easily been more than the toll. I wonder if the driver just figure he/she wasn't gonna get caught.

I mean, I guess he was hoping shed stop after hitting him once or twice. Then started fighting back when she didnt. Its also possible that he couldnt stop safely based on speed and traffic behind him. Since he didnt know hed drive off a bridge, he probably figured not stopping was safer at the time rather than being rear ended. But I also dont remember what traffic behind him looked like...
