So I just had a Romulus MI police officer call me and say “you know why I’m calling you, don’t you!”
I said ummm no.
He replied you hit a school bus this morning, causing significant damage. And you left the scene of the accident. Then he asked me what kind of vehicle I drive and I said a Ford Flex. He said yep it’s you and you are in some trouble. He claimed to have camera evidence and witnesses who got my plate number.
I thought about my drive in to work and said I bet this was east bound Van Born at Howe. I was stopped at a light behind a school bus on a 4 lane road in the far right lane. The light turned green and we didn’t move so I sat there for a moment and let all the traffic clear. When the bus did not move I simply went around it and I saw the bus put on it’s hazard lights in my rear view (definitely not the children load unload lights) and continued on my way. I told the officer I was never within 8 feet of the bus and please come down and look at my car immediately, I am 15 minutes away max. He changed his tune and said he’d get back with me soon.
The whole thing was pretty upsetting for me and I’m waiting to hear back or I want to drive down there to show them my car. After we hung up I immediately went outside and took these.
