Can't see it anywhere in here Ldp191 struck a parked car in turn knocking down a pedestrian. Weird crash as the videos on social media show the bus going around a car and loosing control under 5mph Pedestrian in ok apparently.   |

I'm going to say driver error after seeing the video.

Checked the video out - A really disturbing video and lucky to be alive.
Playing back the video it looks like way more than 5MPH you wouldn't bust a car through a metal fence @ 5 MPH that is for sure.
It looks like very harsh acceleration with a second burst as it changes up a gear, a shame the camera didn't have a higher angle as I wanted to see the steering input and the driver's head himself, where he is looking etc

After that.... Nothing. |

I did look at that that wheel angle prior to my initial reply, it was just a shame there was no higher camera angle was all I was implying...the higher angle only comes into vision after the incident.
It was the second surge/changing up a gear that caught my attention because that was way too fast to go around parked cars with another car that had just reversed to give more room for him (after a heated discussion who should give way(guessing)watch the video for clues).....I was wondering if he got his pedals mixed up or a runaway bus.
