Five "Dr. Phil" fans are now suing the very show they once loved -- after a road trip to catch a taping of the program allegedly turned into the worst experience of their lives.
Flashback to December 2007, when a bus chartered by the "Dr. Phil" show -- which was carting members of a Ventura County mothers group to see the show -- crashed while en route, injuring 17 people.
According to the lawsuit, filed earlier this month in L.A. County Superior Court, the brakes on the bus "failed and lost power, making the bus unable to stop" ... causing it to collide with "another vehicle, two concrete curbs, an iron fence and two trees."
Now, five women on board that bus are suing Dr. Phil's production company, claiming the show "negligently hired" the faulty bus to pick them up.
The five women are asking for unspecified damages against Dr. Phil's production company -- Peteski Productions -- along with Bus America, Inc. and the bus driver.

Simply posting on this trash site belies any integrity you think you may have. Don't worry about it. No one else does.
If I was driving a busload of cackling morons from the Dr Phil audience, I would do it deliberately. Wow, he drove into "another vehicle, two concrete curbs, an iron fence and two trees", and still couldn't finish the fat oafs off.
Good effort though. Well done Mr Bus Driver.
What a bunch o' shiz... I'll bet my salary on the demograph of this group, and the POS lawyer behind this! I guess Dr Phil should've went and inspected the bus personally...I can hear 'em now "dat mo fo dota Phil gonna be payin' my ass...uummm hummm" ...ridiculous.
I am surprised that TMZ has not put up any more michael jackson stories.
Large Marge, your comment was very sensible. People who post in this type of site is idiot in some way, because they are losing their time talking about someone else - stupid celebs - instead of take care of their own lives. I assume mea culpa for it. Hahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaahaha.
