Serious Prevost Carnage. Do not look if you have a weak stomach.

My future sister-in-law works for a salvage and is always looking for wrecked cars and truck for their inventory. Today she sent some rather disturbing photos of a Prevost XL that came to a sudden stop.
Warning: Very disturbing photos. Abilene, TX

Aaron,

The carnage looks terrible!

Did this wreck occur in the Abilene, TX area? Any update on the driver & passengers? I pray they somehow escaped with their lives.

Man-man, eating a windshield like that, I doubt seriously if anyone could survive something like that.

That is terrible! I sure hope everybody lived, but I sure doubt it.

Clifford, who's bus was that? Do ya recognize it?

luvrbus · August 05, 2011, 07:11:00 PM

Have no idea John just know it is a 2001 and minimum bid is 4200 I do have the serial number if one of the prevost guys want to chase it down bidding close on that one Monday I checked on the numbers it was a motor home registered in a LCC in Montana

scarry! looks like hit low right front from the side . Hope it was unoccupied. almost to low for train. but what ever it was was heavy to take front axle out like that. Have seen two that were in head on that came out better but were not twisted to side like that .

demodriver · August 05, 2011, 07:27:28 PM

^^ the only thing that I could think of that would do damage like that is a low boy semi trailer and the bus running into it while both where moving. Very nasty wreck...

Iceni John · August 05, 2011, 08:53:11 PM

Not only the front axle, but also the drive axle is torn away. And there is minor rear end damage. Looking at the exhaust pipes, I wonder if the engine was torn off its mounts as well? I can't imagine there's anything left of any value to anyone except the scrapper.

That bus didn't have what you call a front axle per say it had the IFS

good luck
