Fatal Fung Wah Accident in NYC

111807-FungWahBusPic.jpgUsually, when the infamous low-rent Fung Wah buses have an accident, it's funny. That's because no one has died.

It's not funny this time. Someone died today in a Fung Wah accident in New York City. A dump truck crashed into a Fung Wah bus, which then hit a bank, killing a 57-year-old pedestrian.

While you might instinctively point the finger at Fung Wah, and while we wouldn't blame you for that instinct, reports from Gothamist indicate that the fault may not have been Fung Wah's. The truck was allegedly moving too fast when it hit the bus, which was waiting to pick up passengers.

This may be a New York-centric story, but anything that involves Fung Wah involves Boston, and it might impact your trips if you were planning a Fung Wah ride.
