S.I. Orion VII NG Accident - Richmond Terrace |
|
|
Posted by MTA_SI on Sun Sep 7 12:02:26 2008 This morning an Orion VII Deadheading to the ferry Bus # 3802 (I believe) as the bus was approaching the sharp right turn before Broadway on richmond terrace, the bus side swiped and hit the utility pole on the bend. As of 09:40 Engines 157/80/156 from FDNY were on scene along with management and an ambulance. As of 11:40 bus is at Castleton Depot in the Maintance area in rear of depot. You can see bus if you are driving behind Castleon Depot through the gates. |

This is an extremely sharp curve people! It was a accident that just happened to be a Hybrid O7. The accidents with O5s on the stretch are unmentioned here but I'm sure there have been a few. And you can bet that there are accidents with cars, especially when other cars are sitting at the light on Broadway.View Larger Map |

What SIers need to do is perhaps have a light installed at the intersection...or speed humps approaching it. Call 3-1-1...and have others do it as well. |

Yep. the bus will eventually get fixed, but as for the bus operator, ________________ ( fill in the blank ).it seems to be due to driver error |

However, the NYCDOT hasn't done enough to do traffic calming. If it really has, then accidents here would be isolated incidents. |

A bus hit a pole on a sharp curve. Someone responded saying it was a sharp curve and was a problem. I responded that it is built-in traffic calming for the road, so it's a good feature. I don't understand what angle you are taking. |
