preliminary reports say that a Jeep-type SUV hit the island (the cement place where you wait for the bus, yikes), rolled over and hit the Operator side of the bus
WTG, jackass.

This is very similar to an accident that happened a while back on the N, over by duboce. Basically someone lost control of a vehicle and flipped over their car onto the tracks.

Fortunately no one was hurt. I'd be interested to find out the full report as to WHY the Jeep crashed - was it just a mishap or was someone driving foolishly in traffic, not paying attention?
Either way I'm glad no one was seriously hurt or killed. And while it sucks for Muni, this one can't be blamed on them at all.

That is not a Jeep and not an SUV. It's a Chevy HHR, which is to say it's a rather small economy car with a comparatively low center of gravity. It should be relatively hard to flip one of those suckers over.
My question is why was this guy on Market in the first place? Did they ignore the turn off at sixth? Did they turn back on Market? Hmm.
