Baja has one of the biggest patios in Richmond and is right on Main. So i walk inside and then come back out and its just dead quite and everyone is looking towards Main street. The car ran into the back of the bus and i guess the driver tried to swerve right before hitting the bus but it rear ended the bus and the passenger side of the car was completely gone all the way back to the rear passenger door and up to door level height. Everyone thought the passenger was dead for like 30 minutes, until you heard her start screaming im alive/get me out of here. I think she was just knocked out because she lived and they said she only had minor injuries.
It was a really young married couple like maybe 25 at the most. They had to use the jaws of life to cut the car open to get the girl out and the guy was so drunk he was flipping out that they were ruining his car. This was all going on in front of a huge crowd of drunk people. It was pretty intense and Baja quickly controlled things and made everyone close their tabs.

Dang! Thats pretty intense! I guess as a young guy drinking a beer it would be kind of kewl to watch, but dang!
I'm glad noone died, but it seems to me that VCU should take that totaled car and place it in the center of campus. Or somewhere where ALOT of students spend alot of time at. And put a sign on it saying, "Don't let this be you." Those that saw that accident happen while kicking back some cold ones at the bar would have a good drinking story to share with those that look at that car. And Hopefully, that would help discourage drunk driving to at least a couple of people.
