Yikes!
Impressive, I like the way the bus survives it all and maintains some kind of control trying to reduce damage. Also I'm impressed by the hatchback with the white window that escapes by pulling away and to the shoulder, decent driving.
It looks to me like he could have done a lot less damage if he had gone to the right at the very start. :)

Yeah, that little hatchback got smacked by the car behind him and creased his bumper but if he hadn't gunned it, he'd have been toast, too. I imagine several deaths resulted from that accident. Some of those cars the bus hit at full speed were stopped.
And for some relief from that carnage, you may want to read (?) other pages of that website to see what the Sun is better known for . . .
