Funny you should say that, we were out in Cambridge today and saw two seperate incidents with buses going like the clappers in 20 zones almost hitting children today.

RIP.

Stagecoach always have been the crappier of the two Coventry bus companies.

I'll put £20 that the bus driver lied in his medical and still gets away scott free (no persecutions) like what happened to the bin lorry driver.

That photo is credited to the ambulance service, who are likely the ones who blurred it out. Other pics show the logo clearly. Such a tragic accident. Sounds stupid but we were only there after visiting the car museum a few weeks ago. Somehow news like that has more of an impact when you have a personal connection to the place, however tenuous.

Very sad for those involved, especially the deceased passengers. That top deck is destroyed. Nasty.

RIP.

RIP those lost.

They should have CCTV of that as there's a camera pointing right down that street to monitor the bus lane passing sainsburys. Some do drive too fast around there considering the volume of pedestrians and lack of a traffic light crossing. Miracle it didn't catch out more people as it's a popular spot there as people queue at an atm there too.

I'm seeing more and more bus drivers who are not British, but Eastern European.

More crashes!

Link?

Take your spoon and go stir something else. No link, just bigots like you.

RIP those involved, so sad

Sad scenes.

It doesn't matter about what the reasons were - it won't bring them back.

I'm gutted for the families of those involved and condolences.

Lovely. A tragic accident occurred. Two people died, one of them an 8 year old boy. A 9 year old girl was seriously injured.

How can we pin this on the immigrants?

Some people aren't right in the head.
