So sad.
It would seem that bus, van (guagua) and public car drivers have no concern whatsoever for safety.
They are the #1 menace on the road, other than motoconchos, but at least they just bounce off the windshield and are generally not fatal to their victims.

Watching it on channel 3 as we speak.

Ran into a payloader/digger/tractor type of thing.

If I'm reading correctly, the driver of a large truck claims to have been trying to avoid another vehicle causing him to run into the back of the Casa Marina bus.

That's what I heard - my friend rang me yesterday to tell me. It seems the bus had stopped to let a lady off and the truck thing went straight into the back of it. The lad that died used to work in the bakery in Sabana Grande.
Another tragic loss of life.

At least there is only one dead. I was told more, but happily that was wrong.

The truck driver was at fault from the photos, but these Vans need to pull over more to the side. They just stop in the road a lot.

That is terrible, I feel so sorry for that young man and his family.

Question? Does anyone happen to know who the person was that lost his life in that terrible crash last Friday.

I can find out for you if it is important - I know he was a 19 year old that used to work in the bakery in Sabana Grande and moved on to a job in Casa Marina Reef. My friend used to work with him.
