The driver became disoriented and exited the vehicle and was accidentally hit by a passing tour bus, police said.

At that point, the man's luck might just have returned. He was conscious and breathing when first responders arrived.

He was first treated at the scene by the Los Angeles County Fire Department and California Highway Patrol before being transported to a local hospital.
