Bus dangles over highway after smashing through guardrail outside Boston

A city bus in Newton, Massachusetts, wound up dangerously suspended above a highway Sunday after leaping a curb and smashing through a guardrail. From The Boston Globe:

Eight people were injured, including the driver, and the Massachusetts Turnpike was temporarily closed off beneath the bridge as a precaution. Emergency response crews needed two trucks to remove the bus — one to hoist the front while the other pulled it back off the ledge. --Jon Terbush
