LMFAO.

I saw that a while ago while crusing Flickr.

I forget the exact link to the set, but there's more pix of that incident.

Seems to me that's a road engineer's fault.

That road's been like that for ages. I used to live in SoCal when I was a kid and I remember traveling that road a few times.

Anyone witha long-wheelbase vehicle should know better not to attempt that one.

So that is where this guy is working now!!!!!- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o_QnNVprQY
Seriously...

So was the bus coming from the road to the right and attempting to turn left? Granted it looks tight, but at least in this pic it looks doable with reasonable speed and caution.

Seems a bit extreme how far the bus is off the road, exactly how fast did that guy try to take the turn?

Patrick, I don't think that bus was turning at all. It was coming from the right, proceeding straight through the intersection, at least from my understanding. It looks to me like the crossroad "Baxter" continues down the hill to the left.

I agree, the driver has nobody to blame but himself for not knowing hot to operate the vehicle!
If you have an International, you NEED customer service.
