John Daly Wrecks Bus Into Tunnel

Now, before you freak out, shake your head and wonder what John Daly is doing alive, I should probably point out that this story is slightly less wince-worthy than the title indicates. Daly did crash a bus into a tunnel, but it was because he wasn't paying attention to the clearance sign leading into the tunnel. (As opposed to, you know, getting really sloppy at Hooters and then doing it.)

Apparently, there was another distracting sign next to the clearance and Daly -- driving his daughter to Florida so she too could have lap-band surgery -- and when his bus hit the tunnel, a number of parts went flying into an oncoming Cadillac, driven by the good Reverend Jimmy Roberson. Who may or may not have neck injuries.

"In 17 years of driving a bus, I've never had an experience like this," Daly said Saturday evening. "The sign said 'No trucks, cargo or hazardous material in the right lane.' I'm reading the sign and don't see the (clearance) footage. I'm think I've got to go to the left lane, and before I know it, the roof is torn out."

Daly's Twitter feed (as pointed out by the newly Twitter-obsessed ~~Texans Chick~~ Steph Stradley) has been full of responses and tweets about the accident.

signs were too LATE and chains were NOT down to prevent--statistics show this happens multiple times week--No Clearance on the Tunnel AT ALL

Daly went on to answer tweets from some of his followers as well, stating that he heard from a cop on scene that this happens multiple times per week. Additionally, Daly called out a "man of god" for claiming neck injuries in the accident; Daly's famous enough though that you can bet your next round of lap-band if whoever's involved is lawsuit-inclined at the least, the insurance claim is going to be a lot bigger than he expects.

But, long story short is that Daly did -- it seems -- nothing wrong here and he just happens to be a victim of being John Daly and driving a giant bus and smashing his windshield into a tunnel because he didn't properly read the signage. So, yeah, nothing to see here, folks. Move right along.
