The bump doesn't look too serious and it doesn't look like the driver is hurt too badly as they just seem to be tending to him in the cab as opposed to rushing him off anywhere. All the same, my thoughts are with him as he'll be undoubtedly shaken by the whole thing. I'd imagine 2144 will be paying a visit to Jackson Street for some new body panels and a touch up on the paint.

One thing that does intrigue me looking over those photos though, is how the vehicle has managed to sustain damage to the rear, right hand grille but nothing to the actual right side of the bus other than at the front - I suspect a shunt from behind may be the cause but I really am just making a (somewhat!) educated guess so don't by any means take that as gospel!
