Google Street View car in 'accident'

A Google Street View car hit two public
transport buses and a truck in the city of
Bogor, Indonesia.
Police said the car driver hit the first bus,
appeared to "panic" when the bus driver
responded angrily, and tried to drive off.
But in doing so the vehicle hit a second bus
and then the truck, according to local media
reports.
It is unclear whether anybody was hurt at the
scene. Google has confirmed that an incident
has taken place.
"We take incidents like this very seriously.
We're working closely with local authorities to
address the situation," Vishnu Mahmud, head
of communications for Google in Indonesia,
told news agency AFP.
Pictures of the incident were posted to an
Indonesian website by an eyewitness .
Donkey
The tech giant has been taking photos of the
region for its mapping service since November
2012.
Earlier this year Google denied reports that
one of its Street View cars had run over a
donkey in Botswana.
Street View photos appeared to show the
animal walking by the roadside in one shot and
then lying on its side behind the car in
another.
"Because of the way our 360-degree imagery
is put together, it looked to some that our car
had been involved in an unseemly hit-and-run,
leaving the humble beast stranded in the
road," wrote Kei Kawai, Group Product
Manager, Google Maps in a blog post at the
time.
"The donkey was lying in the path - perhaps
enjoying a dust bath - before moving safely
aside as our car drove past.
"I'm pleased to confirm the donkey is alive
and well," he added.
