News Flash: accident close to my office

This is what happens when a special public bus dubbed as “express” jumps at a red light to adhere to its name:

    

Bus #X25 slammed into five other cars in a busy intersection (100 meters from my office)  on a hectic Tuesday morning

Sorry, I could not bring myself to post bigger images. Please click the thumbnails to enlarge the photos.

The X25 bus is one of the new buses operating since September of this year. X in the bus name means “Express” and it really lives up to that name with its speed. Until a couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were using this bus every single day. I was amazed by the skill of the driver to hustle through traffic, sometimes cutting corners, overtaking, inserting between cars (as if the vehicle is small!) and unfortunately, jumping on red lights just to get passengers to their destination on time.

I always knew one day, this bus and that kind of driving would result in something bad. Sad for the people involved in the accident this morning.

One motorist died in today’s unfortunate event.
