Bus smash carnage

Several parked cars were damaged in Jericho on Saturday as a
bus driver lost control of his vehicle after making a right turn
into a quiet side street. The driver of the Thames Travel bus
turned into Cranham Street to find a vehicle parked on
double-yellow lines. Attempting to avoid the vehicle, the bus
clipped the wheel of the first in a row of parked cars, before
hitting another and pushing it backwards. The bus eventually careered into a total of seven cars. Liza
Picard, the owner of the first car to be hit, told Cherwell that
two of the cars have been written off. She also expressed
sympathy for the driver saying, “I feel sorry for him, I
don’t know how this could have happened.”ARCHIVE: 1st week TT 2004
