Holy moly! An MBTA driver suffered a medical emergency and lost control of the 119 Northgate - Beachmont bus in Revere this morning.
According to the Globe, the bus hit a parked car, three utility poles, a fire hydrant, a fire box, a tree and the sign for St. Mary's Church before skidding across a lawn and finally stopping against a guard rail. Not for nothin', that's wicked scary.
Speaking of St. Mary, it was a freakin' miracle that no one was seriously hurt. The driver was taken to Mass General Hospital for evaluation and two passengers were taken to Whidden Memorial Hospital for back and neck pain.
