Bus creates havoc in Cranham Street

Bus crash in Cranham Street, Jericho

If you ever thought that the Thames Transit bus was too big for Jericho’ s narrow streets, you will not have been surprised by the bus crash on the evening of Saturday May 1st in Cranham Street. The bus driver tried to squeeze between a hefty people carrier parked on double yellow lines on the right hand side and a row of cars parked in residents’ spaces on the left. Unfortunately he clipped one of the parked cars then lost control completely—ploughing into a whole row of vehicles, shunting them into each other—and one onto the pavement. Two of the cars were complete write-offs. Fortunately no one was hurt.
