Random Act of Kindness Backfires

Mom always warned us about not taking candy from strangers. But, unfortunately, sometimes accepting someone’s nice gesture just isn’t worth it, either.

Witness the case of one motorist being courteous and waving another into traffic in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The result? A crash involving a school bus.

The incident occurred last Tuesday morning when a women was attempting to pull out of a Walgreen’s parking lot. Another motorist waiting in traffic noticed and waved her in, granting the SUV access onto East 51st Street. But the woman driving it needed to cross over two lanes of traffic, and she she failed to see an oncoming school bus in that second lane.

Onboard school bus video shot facing out the windshield shows the SUV suddenly come into view and strike the right front side of the bus.

Luckily, there were no reported injuries to the 32 junior high students on the bus, but police ticketed the woman driving the SUV for unsafely merging lane.

It was the thought that counts.
