The memeification of a UMN bus crash

When a University of Minnesota bus crashed in Acadia Cafe — a restaurant located in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis — the accident made headlines in local newspapers, it was broadcasted on news stations and it became the topic of choice for memes and jokes on University social media feeds.

Between TikToks, memes and tweets, the accident on March 15 led to a slew of jokes made about the crash — most of which are pretty funny. From one meme fan to another, we’ve collected some of the best guilty-pleasure laughs from the event.

No one was harmed in the crash and Acadia has set up a GoFundMe to help raise money to compensate their workers. Donate here.
