Bus hit taxi at Nuneaton bus station.

There is someone in the comments claiming to be the taxi driver that was hit; he claims that the bus had noone on it at the time and the driver had forgot to apply the handbrake.

Local newspapers are reporting a serious coach fire late last night on the M42 eastbound just off the M5. Emergency services state no injuries - thankfully - but the 42 seater vehicle totally destroyed.

5504 seemed to have crashed into a bus stop "wayfinder" yesterday night at new Street station.

Looks like, according to the Express & Star website, 2112 involved in an incident last night while on the Brownhills route!

The voi scooter that you need to be 18 to use when the child that died was 12?

The bus driver has to now live with this on their conscience.

They need to be removed until they can ensure that only the correct people use them. I see them in the early hours of the morning weaving in and out of the traffic on the ring road, ignoring the traffic lights. In the same way they won't let motorcyclists use the road until they've passed a basic test, there should be a test and register. Especially when that site also says that you should have a provisional licence to use them as well.

Sorry for the rambling.

...and insurance too......

A terrible situation. It has come about by government introducing e-scooter legislation that is nigh on impossible to police. Can anyone convince us that there wont be another death?

[Rachvince53]

Yet another hazard for motorists and pedestrians alike.
