Hit by a Bus.

Thursday morning i got down to the computer after getting Oliver set up with breakfast and Little Einsteins. I opened my email to find an email from my Mom titled accident with a link to the DMV for an accident report. I was really confused by this and thinking it had to do with when we got rear ended months ago, but there was no damage and the police were there and made a report. So I IM'd her and asked why she sent it. 


She said "G was hit by a bus."

My first reaction was What?!, then in my mind thinking she had a very realistic dream and thought it really happen.
"When?"

"A little bit ago, he just called."

Of course I jumped up and got my phone and had 2 missed call from G. I called him up and my response was "You got hit by a bus?"

He just laughed, "Yeah!"

Apparently, he was waiting at Vaughn and 23rd (i think), in the truck, needing to turn and get to his final pick up of the morning before getting to work. A bus wanted to turn onto one of the streets, not sure which but was blocked by another car. It made a turn around Graham but the driver misjudged it and hit the front right corner of the truck.
 
  
They got out and exchanged information after Graham pulled around the corner and parked. The passengers had to get off the bus and walk to catch another.

The damage or really lack of damage considering it was a bus  that the truck tangoed with is pretty amazing. According to Graham the side of the bus was all dented in, so the truck won!

This makes Graham love his truck even more...It weathered the Artic Blast (besides blowing a tire 2 days before Christmas) and now fought with a bus and won.

Oh yeah, he is fine, i think he was actually a little giddy. Boys and their toys.
