Thank you for your comments Maria. The Rescue workers (Police & Ambulance) are always amazing to watch in action. They regularly monitor this website and I’m certain they will appreciate your heartfelt thanks. Dave, although your wife did find it distressing, many children were watching under the careful guidance of their parents. If any good can come from this incident, it will be a number of very young drivers who are a lot more careful on the road.
Working hard.

I was there with my family and was amazed watching how many rescue people were working taking that bus apart. It was like watching a guard of honour. My wife was a little distressed over the whole thing, but I thought it was fascinating. Maria, I wish your father a speedy recovery and also my give heartfelt condolences to the family of the young man who died.

From our family we are ever so grateful to everyone who helped set our dad free from the wreckage. If we could we would like to thank everyone personally for their help.
We send our condolences to the family of the man who sadly died at the scene.
