One would think that a professional driver in the New York-New Jersey area would be able to handle driving on these streets. The fact something went so terribly wrong here raises serious questions. Was there something unusual wrong with the bus that caused it to jolt forward? Or, would investigations show there’s an issue with this driver’s training or driving record? Only one person was hurt here, but it’s important to know what went wrong before more people get hurt in the future.
