A pickup truck struck a Centro bus in Syracuse just over a week ago, lodging itself in the bus and injuring multiple people. Videos from cameras on the bus show the truck crashing through the side of the bus and throwing a passenger forward. Centro released the surveillance footage after a newspaper filed a Freedom of Information Law request. Neil Brownell, the driver of the pickup, was driving off Interstate 81 north at Park Street around 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 when the accident happened, said the Syracuse Police Department. Brownell swerved into the left lane to avoid traffic near the end of the ramp, police said. The truck went off the road and crashed into a Centro bus that was stopped on Park Street at the Farmers Market Place traffic light. The truck was stuck in the bus several feet above the ground. Police said several passengers were treated for minor injuries. The bus driver, Daphne Ross-Powell, 54, of Syracuse, was treated at Crouse Hospital for chest pain. The pickup driver, Brownell, 82, of West Monroe, was not injured, police said. His wife, Jerrie Brownell, 75, of West Monroe, a passenger in his truck, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center for chest pain. No tickets were immediately issued after the crash. |

It happened a couple years ago, so it could have been on here prior. I sorta looked & couldn't find it, but nonetheless, a few great camera angles of the bus getting hit by a pickup truck running off the road and lodging into the bus. Truck driven by an 82 year old man on January 2017 in Syracuse, NY. Numerous injuries and the man was ticketed for careless driving. |
