Yeah, that dude was lucky. He was down on West Campus. This was on the radio a few days back, but I hadn't seen it.

I linked it a few days ago but didn't realize that you couldn't even link to youtube if it has language, so I waited till one was posted with no language. Apparently the guy is named nick, is a freshman and only needed a few stitches where his head hit the glass

I had a co worker here at Harris County and she walked between to 2 parked cars to cross the street and stepped in front of a metro bus

It's a stupid tradition they have at UT. Students line each side of the crosswalk with foam "swords"... when the light turns red and they can cross, they run to the center and have a sword fight... retreating when the light is green again...
This Einstein got a little anxious and went Sparta a couple of seconds too early...
Oh... and as you might expect, he has retained a lawyer and may sue...

Wow.
This is what's wrong with America these days. You do something stupid, and you're allowed to sue.
IMO not only should he not be allowed to sue, but he should be castrated to ensure he isn't able to spread more stupidity to the world.

In the report I saw on Friday the news said the bus had run a red light. Don't know if that report was correct or not, but it should be easy to prove since many of the traffic signals in town have cameras on them. If it was red, that is going to help the kids case. Still was dumb of him not to look before he ran into the street.

Maybe those people were smart enough to look at traffic and could actually see a bus still driving down the street. Being across the street they would have had a better view of where the bus was. Like I said, it should be easy to prove whether the light was red, yellow or green. The busses also have cameras on them. I am wondering when that video will be released.

They are now saying that the bus did not run a red light? Cap Metro and the police (be nice CowboyMcCoy) are saying they reviewed the tape and the bus did not run it....which goes along w/ the fact that "Nick" was the only one who ran out into the road.
Now to the video.......Knowing that the kid is alright, that video is funny has heck. Looks almost fake. You have all these drunk, shirtless frat guys screaming and the one kid dressed nicely w/ his backpack on is the one that gets hit.
