Is the timestamp right? 9:11 AM? That guy is either a shift worker or dedicated! And man, that bus really accelerated out of the first turn. Almost like someone floored it...
Just spitballin', but I'd bet on that driver taking a little micro-nap (due to sleep apnea or something), mashing the throttle and then waking up about 1.5 seconds later when our pub-hound was in his crosshairs.
Glad that dude is alive!
If you're gonna drink all day, you gotta start early.

Agreed. I think he's hurt worse than it appears.

Drill Here, Drill Now

The other driver had a sleep apnea episode, crossed thewhite line and slammed into her vehicle. She was OK, however, one of her elderly passengers died and another was seriously injured.
Glad you're MIL is recuperating, but your post is confusing. Are you sure you're not confusing sleep apnea (an apnea event is a temporary cessation of breathing while sleeping) with narcolepsy (a condition when a person falls asleep repeatedly during the daytime)?
