PHOENIX, ARIZONA
BUS AND DUMP TRUCK COLLISION. A DUMP
TRUCK EXITED A NEARBY CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND HIT THE FRONT, RIGHT BUMPER OF THE
BUS AS THE DUMP TRUCK ATTEMPTED TO MERGE WITH NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC
A collision between a Valley Metro city bus and a dump
truck restricted northbound traffic on Seventh Avenue near Campbell Avenue
Monday afternoon, but the wreck took a more vulgar turn when a flasher appeared
at the scene.
Shortly after the Monday afternoon crash in central
Phoenix a man ran out from behind a nearby row of bushes and flashed everyone
gathered in the area before running away, according to passengers at the scene.
The flasher seized the opportunity that arose after the
bus was leaving a stop in the area at about 1 p.m. Monday, according to
passengers and eye witnesses.
A dump truck exited a nearby construction zone and hit
the front, right bumper of the bus as the dump truck attempted to merge with
northbound traffic, according to passengers and witnesses.
The dump truck was removing debris from a canal
construction site.
A new bus came to pick up the passengers and continue
the route.
No one was injured in this incident.
