The Press Association: 18 hurt as bus roof is torn off

[David Humphries]

Blimey, that's not good.

 

Couldn't see any tree debris on the road in the BBC video.

 

Those Planes look like they have been maintained/lifted.

 

Wonder if it was a failed limb hanging low or driver error.

 

Guess the report will provide the answer at some later date.

 

Hope no one was significantly hurt.

Ouch!

 

Looks like a busy enough road, I wonder if the tree had moved in the recent winds and rain and not been noticed

[PeteB]

Blimey, it is almost as if the bus was on the wrong route!

[Paul Barton]

That is weird. Fishponds Road is a busy road that has lots of double deckers up and down it all day every day. I can only think perhaps the bus lurched sideways in a deep gutter or drain or something.

 

Must have been a nasty shock sitting upstairs.

I wonder if it was a driver unfamiliar with the route? I thought those trees had more than enough clearance.
