Man Who Survived Bus Crashing Into Home Credits Couch With Saving His Life

A Twin Cities man is reflecting on what was a very close call when he was pushed out of his home by a bus. Randy Schmit had been taking a nap at his house in Columbia Heights Friday evening, when a bus crashed into his home. “I was looking at the sky,” Schmit said. “Then I turned my head and I was looking at a bus inside my house.” Police say the Metro Transit Anoka Traveler Bus crashed into the home after hitting another vehicle. The bus also hit a gas line as it plowed into the house. “It was one of the loudest noises I’ve heard in a long time,” neighbor Missy Lee said.
