Hot rod has a pretty good bead on this one. I've helped Dad convert an MCI and 2 Prevost coaches and they are all hell-for-stout. It looks like a perfect storm scenario got this coach if it had hit on the front of the bus I think that things would be much different. In most cases, I think that an inter-city coach would survive a crash even better than our truck conversions. With our trucks, you have a box on a frame. With a coach the box is part of the frame. The walls and roof are structural members making it like a big piece of box tubing with wheels.
P.S. That must be one hell of a sign post!
