Seriously damaged NICE bus

I was driving in East Meadow today when I passed a truck towing a seriously damaged NICE bus - the whole middle of the bus looked like it had been bombed out. Just one big hole in the side of the bus. Anyone know what happened? Didn't see (or just missed) any threads here about it. I couldn't snap a pic before the tow truck turned the corner.

Could it be the one that got smashed into by Hofstra?

If you had the bus # it would be helpful.

I was near Hofstra, so plausible

Heavy damage on the right side? Damage to the front of the bus? 1804 was wreaked under MTA LIB when a drunk driver ran a red light a while ago. Where the bus has been stored, I don't know.

I heard that Nassau County Police had "custody" of the bus as evidence for the case against the errent drunk driver.

If this was the bus, obviously it was released by them.

Might it have been 1808, which MTA Bus has to pay to repair?

1808 has been repaired. It was at Grand Ave CMF for NYS DOT inspection last I knew.
