Stagecoach South 19161.

Stagecoach South 19161.

The driver saw a 12' bridge sign, had the kids tell him that it wouldn't fit (on a full school bus) and yet decided that he would give it a go?

A lot of the injuries seems to have been averted by the children realising what was about to happen and bracing themselves for impact.

A second bus has been decapitated today, this time in central Bristol.  The bus is LR52 BLK which was in the First West of England fleet as fleet number 32231 until last December.  It hit a bridge in Frogmore Street - a street that hasn't had a bus service for at least 70 years, so what it was doing there is anybody's guess.
