A video of students confronting a driver of a University of Miami bus who was later accused of being intoxicated has circulated online after an incident Monday afternoon.

The 45-year-old driver was later charged with driving under the influence, two counts of DUI resulting in property damage and refusing to take a sobriety test, according to reporting from The Miami Herald.

The incident happened at about 3:30 p.m. on the 300 block of U.S. 1. The driver allegedly crashed into a tree and “other objects” on the road, the newspaper reported. When officers arrived, they noted in their report that the man had bloodshot eyes, was unsteady on his feet and smelled of alcohol.

Any pedestrian crossing the street on U.S. 1 or trekking down the sidewalk on Kendall Drive during rush hour knows to remain vigilant. Drivers in Miami have been known to text behind the wheel, speed, take traffic laws as suggestions and honk when unnecessary. The joke that Miami’s distracted drivers don’t know what they are doing is shared among coworkers, friends and grocery store clerks alike with a disapproving shake of their heads.

 It is only when there is a horrific and violent crash that cannot be undone that the chuckling stops and people are reminded of just how dangerous the roads can be.
