Waiting for the bus home from the Square at about 6 pm, I saw a number of police cars with lights flashing near the Dunkin' Donuts on Elm Street. Any know what was going on?

Bus Actually

I was in Starbucks at the time it happened. It was actually an MBTA bus that hit a car door just as it was opened. The impact actually pushed the parked car into a pickup truck parked directly in front of it! I think everyone involved had a bad day.

Oh yeah, and nobody was hurt.

i commute by bicycle and i can't even imagine the bad day i would've had if it'd been me and not the MBTA bus. actually that's one of my biggest paranoias--people opening their doors when they're parked.

Me too. A friend of mine was doored earlier this summer (no serious injuries, thankfully) and I try hard to ride well out away from parked cars now. It took some getting used to and makes me feel a little nervous sometimes, but not nearly as nervous as riding in the door zone does!

I got there right after the accident happened, and boy, were the people who wanted that bus pissy. I can't blame them. Although, on the flip side, at least *they* didn't have their cars hit by buses.
