Expert Opinion

This was clearly a very serious accident that endangered not only those travelling on the bus but those on the pavement and in the shop the bus collided with. <br/> <br/>"A number of people have suffered injuries, some of them serious, as a result of the incident and it is imperative a thorough investigation is conducted to determine exactly what caused the crash, as those involved will understandably want answers about what happened. <br/> <br/>"Through our work we have seen the long-term impact incidents like this can have, not only physically for those injured, but psychologically for those on-board the bus or those who witnessed the collision. This incident could have resulted in the loss of life and it is vital a transparent and thorough investigation is conducted in a bid to prevent similar incidents in the future.
