ALBANY, N.Y. - A New York City teenager fell out the window of a moving bus while using the restroom Tuesday and landed on the New York State Thruway.

State police said Jose Gonzales, 17, lost his balance when the chartered bus swerved to change lanes. It was unclear how fast the bus was going.

Gonzales was taken to Albany Medical Center for treatment. Police said he'll recover.

Gonzales fell onto the shoulder of the thruway near Exit 23 southbound.

He had been at the Capitol on Tuesday to lobby with a group on the issue of AIDS.

 

There are windows big enough in a BUS bathroom to fall out of?!

Can't imagine there being much privacy in that bathroom with a window like that!

 

That's what I was thinking. I thought the windows only opened a couple inches....unless the kid was a midget or something.

 

if i remember right i don't remember a bus having the window open no more then 6"...my dad was a buss driver/deisel mechanic

 

Was he zipped?

 

 

I bet he was trying to climb out or something. I don't recall any busses with a balcony for the bathroom window.
