Most likely an E400/MMC.

Queslett road would say its either WB 5 or WB 46, so most likely president or e200

Whoops, never looked, my bad. Wouldn't be surprised if it was another E200.

That road is quite a tight fit for buses.

EDIT: 4520 and 1926 have been involved.

There's got to be more to this than meets the eye, I can't see two drivers knowingly smash into each other like this.

Wouldn't surprise me if one of the drivers had to swerve to avoid someone opening a door on a parked vehicle, or some dumb pedestrian stepping into the road.

Judging by the angle of the Gemini, it looks as though it is the Gemini that crashed it to the Omnilinks as that appears to be on the wrong side of the road

A car pulled out onto the Gemini. It was supposed to be my bus aswell, I had to duplicate.

It's 1926, you can see more clearly on the latest photos.

Surprised this has not been mentioned in the news reports yet (the car pulling out, not that it was supposed to be your bus  :)). Most people commenting are blaming the bus drivers, as well as the bus company.

Yeah I've come to see the general public are idiots. Well more than I already thought lol.

Typical out of the 30 odd scanias to choose from it had to be my favourite :( Ah well, at least everyone is alright which is the main thing.
