Scene at Carenage where a bus plunged into the sea
Share

by Linda Straker

  • One casualty and all other passengers were taken to the General Hospital
  • # 2 bus had 15 passengers including a baby 

Police have confirmed that there is one casualty and all other passengers were taken to the General Hospital after they were removed from a bus which apparently lost control and ended up in the Carenage water on Friday morning.

“At this time, we can confirm one casualty. There are injuries to other passengers, but we cannot provide an update now,” said Chief Traffic Investigator Ryan Smith.

In a news briefing at the scene of the accident, police said that the white passenger bus, registration HP 148 which operates the #2 route, had a total of 15 passengers including a baby who was among the first to be rescued.

That #2 route travels between St George’s and Springs, Woodlands, Woburn, and areas in proximity.

The main rescue team comprised 3 civilian divers who are fishermen and one police officer. The fishermen who were on their fishing boats in the vicinity immediately sprang into action, after realising that the bus had plunged into the sea.

Police investigations continue.

This is a developing story.

    No one can blame the busdriver for this horrendous accident until a full report is obtained. People are too quick to blame without knowing the real story. There are a lot to be considered. Could have been the brakes, it’s possible that he was drinking, or he was just careless, but until proof is received, no one can judge. I extend my sympathy to the family of the life lost and wish all the injured ones a speedy recovery.

    My sincere condolances to the deceased’s family. The fishermen who helped the passengers should be recognised in some way for their bravery. They are true heroes.

    The police/ relatives of the deceased should make sure that the driver/owner should be held responsible so that others will think of their actions when transporting the public.They must be fined heavily as it’s the only way they will learn I would like to congratulate those who promptly took action in the rescue saving more lives. My heartfelt condolences to the family of the decease.
