Police Respond to it’s First Rapid Transit Bus Crash in Albuquerque, New Mexico

@CopsConsTV obtained City of Albuquerque Transit and Police lapel video from a vehicle crash. It was the first accident with a ART bus involved. The incident happened on December 4th, 2019.

According to the city, a red pickup truck made an illegal left turn in front of an eastbound ART bus that was moving at a higher speed. Video shows his head shattering the back window of his truck.

The ART bus was pretty significant to the windshield and the entrance door, and underneath on the bumper side,” said Alicia Manzano, a spokeswoman for the ART bus program. “I believe the driver actually hit the bus twice in the process, so there was significant damage to the bus and we had to tow the bus out.”

Police arrived and interviewed a few witnesses and conducted an investigation. The red pickup driver was taken to the hospital for monitoring and released.

The City of Albuquerque ART bus project has had over 15 crashes since it’s launch in late 2019. Majority of the crashes are not the bus drivers fault.

  1. some gets paid lots of money to come up with road lay outs like this and the cost to you keeps going up while they play games and get it wrong as your life is worth nothing to them as its always some one else to blame for what they do

  2. Ok… I watched this over and over and the guy in the pick up is in the Left hand turning lane and the bus is going straight forward motion… So the driver of the pick up turned left on a red light??? Why is the left turning in the middle of the road??? I'm confused on how this accident came about.

  3. This is the problem with America, everybody wanna act hurt and it’s stupid af, so they can get a check, if I get into a wreak and somebody act hurt that’s not hurt I’m going to jail, cause they gonna have a reason to go to the hospital, I’m getting my moneys worth

  4. Glad to see that the USA has their buses covered with cameras also. So many people trying to fake injuries to get cash, now they can't and could even face charges if they make a false claim

  5. None of the crashes so far have been the fault of the bus drivers or the buses. The new setup is easy to understand if you pay attention, follow the signs and directions and know how to drive. Bad drivers are causing these crashes.

  6. So he can't speak English, or read English road signs, but is allowed to drive and potentially kill people? That makes sense SHAKING MY MOTHERFUCKING HEAD!!!!!

  7. Why would they put a bus lane, or any same directional travel lane, to the left of a left turn lane? That would be like turning left from the middle lane on the highway
