Watch Viral Video: Man Injured In Bus Crash Prioritizes Beer Over Recovery, Netizens Say: ‘He Got A Second Chance At Life’

A shocking video has gone viral on social media, showing a man who, despite being injured in a road accident involving a bus, prioritizes grabbing a bottle of beer over seeking medical attention.

Simon Smith was walking along Gun Street in Reading, United Kingdom, when a bus suddenly hit him from behind, pushing him several meters along the sidewalk.

In a surprising twist, Smith stood up, dusted himself off and calmly walked into a nearby pub. According to the bar’s owner, Daniel Fraifeld, Smith “pretty much got up, brushed himself off and just went for a beer to relax.” Later, an ambulance arrived to take him for a check-up.

The incident took place on June 24 and CCTV footage recently surfaced on social media. One user shared the video on

“He got a second chance at life. That deserves a few drinks,” said one user.

“That guy went into that bar, sat down, ordered a beer and said… ‘You’re not going to believe this!'” another added.

“This clip is like a rollercoaster. The way he got hit and then walked into the building like nothing happened is the best part but I really hope he’s okay,” a third user wrote.

“That’s the hand of the Lord saying ‘It’s not your day’. That deserved a drink…definitely,” another user added.

“The back of his head was hit really hard. That suggests a shot of whiskey for the concussion,” said another user.

Some users expressed concern, speculating that adrenaline may have prompted Smith to stand up, and they feared he could be more seriously injured than he realized. One user wrote: “That’s just adrenaline; he might collapse once he gets inside.

Another added: ‘His head hit so hard it cracked the windscreen. He may not realize where he is and he could be seriously injured.”

However, Email online clarified that Smith was examined at the hospital and fortunately did not sustain any serious injuries. According to Fraifeld, he was “covered in scrapes and bruises, but was released without permanent damage.”
