Sorry for the sensational headline, but 'tis true, the Williamsport Crosscutters' bus was in a scary accident last night.

The Crosscutters are the Phillies short-season A league team in the New York – Penn League. They were leaving a 7-2 victory against the Brooklyn Cyclones and were on their way to a Holiday Inn (just chillin') when their bus collided with an SUV and almost went through a guardrail:

Six individuals suffered minor injuries after the Susquehanna Trailways coach with the Williamsport Crosscutters aboard collided with an SUV before hitting the guardrail, police said. At least three persons, terrified that the bus would go through the guardrail and topple onto the Expressway below, scrambled through the windows, said EMS Deputy Chief Roberto Colon. 
     
"The bus ricocheted off the SUV and went up the guardrail, straddling the center of the guardrail," said a man at the scene. "Two more feet to the left and it would have fallen down onto the Expressway. It was definitely their lucky day." 

 

silive.com has the full story. Scary indeed. Thankfully, it appears there were no major injuries, which is a good thing because who would be left for Ruben to trade? We kid.

H/T to Andrew for sending
