    Just got home to find the bus stop outside where I live has been obliterated, car flipped on its back nearby, two engines and multiple other responders and the whole width of the street is cordoned off. No pics as someone was still stuck inside so would have felt a bit ghoulish. No ETA on the road reopening, polis are directing peds to go through the garage at the back of the block and everyone else to turn back.

    Doesn't *appear* to have been any casualties.

    I'd just got the bus at that stop an hour before I got back, can't have missed the smash by more than 30 mins.

    Saw a claim that one of the drivers was stung by a wasp and went into anaphylactic shock, causing the collision.

    I don't know if the wasp episdoe being true would make it better or worse.

    "Medical episode" - aye that's a classic of the genre.

    Drivers will make up any old BS to excuse bad drivers
