Bus accident in Las Palmas, luckily on one badly injured.
Yetserday,
a pretty serious accident happened in the neighbourhood of “El Pilar” in Las Palmas. At 8:25 in the morning a bus of the municipal transport service suffered a mechanical problem, thought to be a brake-problem, while ending its service. The vehicle rushed down a street out of control, due to a supposed lack of brake-power. First it crushed into two cars, but thanks to the driver’s driving skills, he managed to speed down the bus by continuing its “rampage” down the road hitting other several parked cars. It finally got to stop by driving through a terrain and getting stuck on the 1 m wall it drove down. This helped to avoid a major accident since the bus could’ve crushed onto the access way of the “César Manrique” school.
Though very spectacular, luckily no one was hurt badly. There were only three passengers on board at the moment of the accident. The driver and two women were diagnosed to suffer an anxiety crisis and a ten year old girl just suffered slight injuries.
I think, though causing a lot of damage, this driver should be honored in some way for that. This could have gone worse for sure.
Do you know where the new runway will...
