No but there's blood and spang on the visor. Is the thing the seat is on a homemade sliding wooden roof?

It's a universal (U haul style) roof rack with plywood on it (upside down now).
I'm curious how the seat got there, did it exit through the cargo doors?

I believe it is a 1963 or 1966 Massachusetts license plate. It looks like MASS used the year in front of the state every other year throughout the 60's...
For example: 63 MASS vs. MASS 64

With baseball diamonds and night field lighting. Maybe they were U-turning to make a call.
I just noticed the bus has a blocky looking side step that didn't get bent or fly off. |

Yep, but that is a front seat.

Check out the rear view mirror arm. Must have gotten just the right touch during the rollover to make it into a nice little U.

Fersure it went over onto that side then on to the roof. The antenna was still in an outward whip and the rack musta gone over and off first leaving one clamp still hooked on above the passenger door.
I'm betting no seatlbelts on so the 2/3 seat just fell with or without someone and was blocking the ability to get the damaged driver out the divider so they pulled the seat out first. The front doors were probably jammed shut. |

I wonder if those scrape marks that cross over under the seat mean it slid on its roof for a while and ended up facing the opposite direction to the way it was going?
