Comment on Quick thinking teenage girl saves runaway bus from crashing into New South Wales petrol station
Zagorath@aussie.zone 10 months agoYeah the lack of mention about why the bus didn’t have its handbrake on, or of any investigation into that matter, was a bit weird.
“The incident has been reported to officers from Richmond Police District who have commenced an investigation.”
If I was the driver’s lawyer, I’d be instructing him to keep his mouth shut for the entirety of that investigation and whatever criminal charges might follow.
At the start of the video the bus is stopped on a downhill, so the handbrake must have been on.
The hill doesn’t look particularly steep, and I think the bus was already rolling at the start of the video, seemingly from an even less steep section. I wonder (pure speculation here) if perhaps the bus was at first holding in place thanks to only the resistance provided by being in gear.

It does say at the bottom that it’s been referred for investigation
