Title: OMG look at this bus
Post by: wal1809 on February 09, 2011, 05:58:18 AM
I ran across this posting on Houston Craigslist.  I am not sure if yall know who Emilio is but he is a Tejano singer here in Texas.  He is pretty big on the Tejano circuit.  I remembered hearing about the accident but I had no idea it was that bad.  Honestly I don't see how he lived through it as he was driving.

    Didn't that accident happen a few years back?  I think someone here on the board posted something about this before.

Yes happened a year or two ago. And yes it is amazing that he didn't kill himself or others!

Wow I never saw these pictures amazing what a drunk driver can do to a beautiful coach by hitting a concrete barrier! (at least it wasn't a mini van full of kids)

I'd say that is beyond repair even for Sonny & Clifford working together! ;)

If it is still sitting at the Pool ( which I image it is ) , storage fees will start eating him alive.  He probably has 300 bucks or so wrapped up in it as it sits.  IAA will not allow ya to pull parts in the yard or in thier parking lot.

With the size and the amount of time it's been there I'd bet storage is over $1000 by now, but been a long time since I was in that line of work.

  What did he actually hit? A car, or the end of the barrier? I cant see how anyone in the nose lived, amazing.
