Thanks. It was a very congested area near a major intersection. I did not anticipate the parked van until I was forced by the bus toward it; also didn't see the truck coming (didn't look at my mirror).

Exactly, a very dreaded situation!
Lessons: avoid getting too close to large vehicles incl. buses which not only can hit you by themselves but also block the view of other drivers and yours; remember to look at the mirror whenever changing the lane.
