Anyone seen this? http://www.itv.com/news/granada/2015-12-04/bus-plunges-through-collapsed-bridge/

Looks dramatic. Mind you, looks like there were as many emergency vehicles attending the E400 that scraped its roof in Carrs Lane yesterday as there were at this incident.

Tragic. And not to make light of the situation, but IIRC, a similar incident occurred a while back? (Man gets dream job; dies next day) All a bit sus.

Is this not just the inquest into the incident in August rather than another incident?

Upon "investigation" - it seems so... I find it strange how this story is resurfacing recently - with the articles I found, posted no longer than 8 hours ago, I didn't find a mention of an inquest. :-\
