I saw that there was a Holloway Tours bus that parked on the shoulder and was blocking the visibility for the crossing motorist.

Were you there at the time of the accident? Regardless, even if true if she could not have crossed safely, she should not have attempted to cross, obviously.
The bus was broken down at the time. The at fault driver, rest her soul, pulled out without checking properly. So you are saying it was Holloway's fault?
ReplyDeleteActually the bus was not broken down because it then picked up children at Worcester Prep School.
