Empty Muni bus rams into light pole, fire hydrant (updates)
Update (11:39 a.m.): The Examiner now reports that the incident is being chalked up to “employee errors.”
Update (10:51 a.m.): According to the SF Examiner, the bus was completely unattended (no driver). MTA is still looking into how this happened.
Original post: Muni rider Paul alerts us to an unfortunate incident that happened at O’Farrell and Van Ness this morning. @ActionNewsSF says no passengers were on board. The marquee looks to read as much. We’ll do our best to find out what happened, and the condition of the driver.
Here’s an image from @tvham:
Besides hoping no one was injured, I can only observe that MUNI is improving…at least they didn’t set the hydrant off like this guy…
