A renegade MTA bus sped through the streets of Bushwick last night, hitting ten cars, a church, and narrowly missing a person. It rolled about two blocks downhill along Palmetto Street from Wyckoff to Knickerbocker Avenues.

The bus was a Q58, which begins its route at the Myrtle-Wyckoff L and M station and continues all the way to Flushing, Queens. The bus driver reportedly put the bus in park and left, but QNS reports the police said it was actually left in neutral.
