Bicycle Hearse Is Your Last Ride
Minister In Trouble After 'Liking' Exposed Teen Pic
A bus driver who was filmed veering into the wrong lane to "murder" a snowman built on a road has been forced to resign after the clip was uploaded to YouTube. We've tried to find a weirder way to lose a job and it's official -- mowing down a snowman in the middle of a road is one of the oddest ways to lose a job ever.
The University of Illinois campus in Urbana was the scene of the "crime." Some student jokers built their own Frosty in the middle of the road, causing cautious drivers to slow down to make sure they don't hit someone in the dark.
But one bus driver decided this was too dangerous (and/or puerile) and after noticing that it was a snowman, veered away from his lane and plowed the white guy into slushy oblivion.
Then a video of the event went online. Then Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District received complaints, and the driver decided to resign. Check out the footage of the event below and make up your own mind -- and let us know what you think in the comment box.

Too bad he didn't run over the morons who put it in the street. That would have merited a raise.

I agree with S Carter. That action shows a total contempt of safety. The jokers should have been suspended and the driver should have been rewarded for eliminating the hazard.

I do not think he should have quit. That snowman was slowing down traffic.

Yea, well... What if it was human in a costume in the middle of the road... This bus driver displayed EXACTLY what you shouldnt do. He could have killed someone.

what these idiots failed to realize was that if a car was coming down the road and didnt see thier "prank" until the last moment, they could have caused an accident and moreover a serious injury. look at the conditions of the road - its snow covered and judging by the location, you can BET there was black ice all over the place. what if someone came down the street too quick, saw the snowman at the las second, slammed the brakes and swerved into oncoming traffic or into the big ass tree right there?

The driver did the right thing. He noticed it was a snowman, noticed that there was no other traffic on the road, and took out a dangerous obstacle. Shame on the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District for putting pressure on the driver to resign. The video has been uploaded. The police should arrest the idiots who built the snowman and put it in the street.

Shouldn't be very hard at all to find the fools who built the snowman in the road. They should be charged with the most serious charges available. If found guilty they should be sentenced to the harshest penalty available. It cost one man his livelihood. It could have cost someone their life. There was absolutely nothing funny about this "prank".

I love this guy! I wish I could say I see nothing wrong with the driver's actions, but... it needed to be done though.
The immature dolts who put the snowman in the road could just as easily have ended up filming a car crash. They created a dangerous prank. Objects in the road are a hazard in any weather. Combined with dark and slick winter roads, and forcing vehicles to brake suddenly, they were lucky no one was hurt.
The driver removed a dangerous obstacle, thereby preventing a future accident. He obviously saw the danger, and took action, but clearly used an impulsive method. He should have been cited for leaving his lane, and that's not even mentioned. To lose his job sucks, but he was driving with passengers, and I'm sure he violated company policy in at least a couple ways lol. He could've just called the police. Maybe stop the bus, and have a couple passengers help him knock it over?
Still, I love this guy!!

I don't think he should have resigned. The children that made the snowman should be punished. The driver did what he thought was best to stop a possible dangerous situation. If a car had to change lanes to miss the snowman could cause a possible wreck that could have killed someone.

Yes the idiots that made the snowman and filmed the incident are probably the ones that put it on the internet for all to see. maybe if they didn't put it on the internet the driver wouldn't have lost his job. These jokers should be cited, should do everything in their power to try and get this bus drivers job back. yes the driver shouldn't have gone into the other lane to do it and maybe get a ticket for leaving his lane but everyone coming from the other side of the street left their lane to avoid this stupid snowman. it was a hazard and the bus driver really didn't do anything wrong to lose his job.
