i heard a similar story, the only difference being that the driver already had the door open to see the kerb as its a tight turn. i knew the kid involved, and while she was a smashing kid, its fair to say she wasnt the brightest of lasses. i also heard that the driver may be being prosecuted.
it sounds to me like a tragic accident and my heart goes out to all involved. as i said before the driver must be traumatised, as indeed must anybody who witnessed it.
no the driver is a very experienced driver with 20 years service and he is also a trainer driver (when a new driver arrives we have 3 driver mentors who learn them the routes fares etc and train them up to a level of going out on their own) and he told me the facts on saturday morning and he did not have the doors open.
mind its sods law that all the buses in the town with cctv on and this happens on a one without it fitted.as to prosecution the odds on that happening are very slim. the police took fingerprints of the emergency door buttons as the people on the bus have backed up the drivers version
