Update: SUV collides with Metro Route 21 bus in Westwood

Thanks to the caller who let us know about this scene that turned more than a few heads at a busy intersection – an SUV collided with the back of the southbound Route 21 bus at 35th and Barton. Police at the scene say nobody appeared to have been seriously hurt; a Metro supervisor told us they’ll have a media liaison call with information; in the meantime, the right southbound lane was blocked, but traffic was getting around OK. 7:44 PM: We did hear from the aforementioned liaison, who said the SUV driver was cited for an “illegal lane change,” and confirmed that no one was hurt.

    How ironic would it be if the driver was DUI

    I guess I don’t understand how one hits such a large target? Gives new meaning to inattention, I guess….

    Unfortunately it isn’t just the drunks who are recklessly impatient.

    Maybe they were copying down the phone number.
