Ladder flies through bus windshield

Updated: Sam sent us this photo of an accident on Tuesday morning on NW 85th St and 6th Ave NW involving a Metro bus on route 48, a truck and a ladder.

“A truck lost his ladder and flew through a Metro bus’s windshield,” Sam writes, “Another two feet or traveling any faster the bus driver may have been seriously injured!!” Metro Spokeswoman Linka Thielke tells our sister site, PhinneyWood.com, that the ladder apparently flew off the truck when it changed lanes as it passed the bus on the left. Thielke said the bus driver was shaken up but not injured. Passengers caught the following bus.
