here in lafayette a couple of months ago a fellow who was impaired (i cannot remember if drugs alcohol or some medical condition) got off the bus and as the driver pulled away fell under the rear wheels and was crushed pretty comprehensively. dead.

no charges were placed against the driver. the fellow according to witnesses had gotten off the bus and was standing there normally until the bus started to pull away.

i imagine the driver must have an awful image of the bus climbing over the guy's body.

shuuuddddeerrrrr!
