CATA bus hit in accident during Obama event
A three-car crash put a Capital Area Transportation Authority, or CATA, bus out of service Thursday during Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign rally, MSU police Sgt. Jill Geile said.
The bus was stopped at the light on the corner of Shaw Lane and Chestnut Road when a vehicle two cars back started a chain reaction, causing an SUV to rear-end the CATA bus.
An elderly woman claimed injuries but was not transported to the hospital. No one on the bus was injured.

How does the bus crash have anything to do with Obama?

Some of those CATA drivers are crazy behind the wheel. Not too long ago, I was on a bus that nearly hit a blind man crossing the street. There have been many other close calls, with the drivers hitting the brakes and everyone (and their stuff) flies forward.
Some drivers drive the bus as if they stole it.

Law student, you’ll need to learn to pay attention to detail before you start your ambulance chasing career. Did you happen to notice that the article stated that bus was stopped at the light and was rear ended by an SUV? With that in mind, what does this accident have to do with bad CATA drivers?
Now that was Funny!!!!

It doesn’t son! But perhaps the SUV has driven by that blind man who was almost hit by a CATA driver one time?
