    I am going to guess the bus thought the trucker was going straight and just didnt pay attention to surroundings

    Looking at that I wonder if the bus was parked at a designated bus stop and if the driver was either taking a break or a scheduled stop to stay consistent with the route schedule when the oversized load came along.

    Do they drive on the opposite side of the road in Oregon? Most people I know call that window being on the driver side.

    Thank you. My point exactly.
    Many comments were made without a clue as to the circumstances. Makes for dull reading.

    The second picture gives a little more insight. You can see where it hit, dragged, and likely snagged as you've suggested. Driver probably kept going for the same reason the mistake was made in the first place; I'd put my money on inexperience or distraction.
    Lucky the bus driver is okay.
