ALERT: Transit bus driver loses control of the vehicle and slams into a parked car before ramming into the neighbor's house.
Bus 166 was en route to its first stop of the morning in Englewood, New Jersey, when it veered into a home's lawn.
The bus destroyed the house's new landscaping before running into a car and then smashing into the neighboring house.
Witness Karina Martinez, who moved into the house with her husband a few months earlier, described a “loud thud” that startled them at 5:30 in the morning.
"So we were up already. It was like 5:30 in the morning. We heard a loud, like. Like a thud. And we usually think it's, you know, the trucks passing by. We're right off of the highway. But then it continued. So we're like, OK, something's going on. My husband looked at the window. He's like, ‘Oh no, my car.’"
Emergency crews arrived shortly after and removed the bus driver from the vehicle on a stretcher before taking him to the hospital, where he was later released.
