Bus Crash in Coventry

[Lex]

A nasty looking incident, but could have been worse; I wonder what the cause was?

An absolute tragedy.

There's lots of speculation at the moment, but I've not seen anything I'd hand my hat on yet.

My heart goes out to all those involved in any way at all. You just don't expect this on a Saturday evening.

That's odd, this report says that the bus driver was in his 5O's. When in another report elsewhere it states that he is 77 and a former Mayor of Leamington.

Poor little lad losing his life and the elderly lady, it is an awful tragedy.
I hope the 9 year old girl and others make a good recovery.

Yes, I'd heard that the driver was 77 from several different reports, including the BBC!

The driver is a long standing employee and a former Mayor of Leamington. His age is given as 77 in most media reports now.
