Let me guess, a trident.

I think the Fiat Punto is b*llsh*t tbh. I reckon it was a heart attack. I can't believe it was my bus aswell. I was waiting for it at the time!

I'm gonna go with wrong footing on this incident. The fact that the Gemini seemed to make no attempt to slow and even the single Decker only just stopped seemed to indicate that it was a surprise to both drivers which on a clear stretch of road seems unlikely. But the possibility that the Gemini flashed the single deck through then hit the accelerator instead of the brake and panicked makes sense in the lack of slowing down

The circumstances have now been confirmed via onboard CCTV on both buses and obviously the footage in the press.

That's what happens when something appears on Facebook and it is just copied everywhere by people without looking what they are actually putting a link to
