I read bus not CT. Clearly CT was involved and hit it quite square on.

The TV news said the bus initially hit some cars and then crossed the concrete divider and hit some more cars (one if which looks like the CT200h).

Did anybody get hurt badly?

Especially in the CT200h?

What year is that CT200h?

I pray that everyone is ok.

Looks like an early model. I'm very puzzled as to if the damage on the bus was caused by the CT. Either way, the car itself performed nicely, but still the human body can only take so much force no matter how rigid your car is. A straight on hit like that is very forceful to the occupants. It would hurt. Notice the mirrors went forward too. If its a fragile person or an older lady, wouldn't take much force to do you in.

Also wondering how a head on crash happened on the freeway. very odd!

The article only said people on the bus were hospitalized, and honestly from the pictures the ct200h looks good, yeah there was force, but I think they lived. Which is gosh darn impressive, if thats the case & makes me love my ct200h even more.

OMG i'm super impressed with the CT200H now. Watch closely the very beginning of the video, despite all the airbags deploying on the CT the driver gets out like nothing happened!

You're right, it looks almost excessively nonchalant.

IDK, seemed to me the guy getting out of the CT200h at the very beginning of the video maybe an investigator or a LEO? He was either texting or organizing the pictures he just took (he is hokdhol his smartphone and doing something on it) while seated inside the CT200h and just got out of the driver seat.. He is just WAY too relaxed. Of course, if he is a professional stuntman or some hard core race driver, then it's just a "normal" day for him to be "in a crash". But I think NOT.

You might be right, however it coincides with everyone rushing to the bus to save the people on it, hence it leads me to believe this was right after the accident. It is right outside hollywood right?
