    3 were seriously hurt requiring surgery, another 38 were injured. One of the injured was a girl who wanted to be a model, she now has a large scar on her face and has attempted suicide since the accident because of how she looks. Another girl also has scars on her face and can't smile properly due to the damage caused.

    He didn't know his left and right apparently. What a good idea to give him the keys to a bus...


    Wat I don't understand is if he was doing 10mph the. How did he managed to keep going long enough for the entire roof to land on the floor behind the bus?

    God knows, it beggars belief, they reckon why he was doing 10mph was because he had stopped to let someone through first.

    Im guessing but I bet he simply carried on when he did it because he was too thick to stop and only stopped when he was literally made to by someone

    It's quite scary when you think the bridge is only just above the top of the seats.
