Default Bus hits tree

Didn't side swipe bars get installed on all double deckers at the top

From the look of it, this one wasn't fitted. You don't see many with
them anyway. It must have been a pretty serious incident for there to
be a death and so many injuries.


As it hit a tree (when buses normally pass by unaffected), and killed a
pedestrian, perhaps the bus had mounted the pavement?
