Did anyone catch it at all? They've just finished extricating the thing now. It smashed half the front off the house next to my friends place! Apparently the driver made it almost to the top, the engine cut due to (the drivers reason at least) all the fuel being in the back of the tank because of the incline. So he gets an escort down the hill in reverse from the police. About a third of the way from the bottom the brakes go, including the handbrake, the bus smashes a BMW's front end off, the police car too and the veers leftwards into the house. Crazy shit.
The front wall of two floors worth of part of the front of the house are just gone. It looks really weird because everything inside looks the same, like a dolls house or something.
The cops said the someone was in at the time but they're ok.
