SHIRLEY, Mass. -- A fall from a tour bus on Saturday night killed one man and left another critically injured, MyFoxBoston reports. Victims Thomas Johnson, of Gardner, and Seth Davis, of Winchendon, fell out of a bathroom window on the bus and onto the highway. Johnson was killed at the scene, while Davis remains in critical condition at UMASS Medical Center in Worcester, MyFoxBoston reports. The bus, run by Colonial Tours of Boston, was returning from the Red Hook Brewery in Portsmouth N.H. and was on its way to Gardner, Mass. No charges have been filed, but police believe alcohol is a contributing factor to the incident.
Police believe alcohol may have played a role? Christ, you think? The bus was coming back from a brewery tour and two guys fell out of a window from the bus bathroom. I'm fairly certain 9/10 this kind of accident is going to involve alcohol.
Aren't these busses supposed to increase public safety? Prevent drunk drivers? I have to think the bus company is partially to blame here. I mean no drunk driver has ever fallen out of a bathroom window from their car, that's for damn sure. What is the deal with even having a window in the bathroom anyway? It's bad enough when you're trying to take a piss while balancing in a moving vehicle, a bit drunk from the beer tour you were just on. Now you've got to worry about covering up your junk so little kids in the back of the family minivan don't see you draining your hog? All the while worrying that one small bump the wrong way and you'll end up out the window? Sounds like the tour bus from hell if you asked me. Think I'd take my chances driving on my own with all those variables in play.
