Been going around Facebook that the driver swerved out of the way of a pedestrian who ran across the front of the bus. Anyone know if this is true?
No comment, I might misspeak.
Well that was what I was thinking.When, what time was the tweet?
Right. Wasn't sure if this was when the tweets were made, or when the tweets were screen shot.
Could also be of course that the tweeter was unaware of the bus crash at the time of the tweet and found out after.

Not so sure, Nick.The guy didn't say send to coventry he said divert to. The sent to coventry stuff is a back track...
Maybe he didn't know people had died, but it was a lame joke about the crash.

Not so sure, Nick.
It was the England bus he was talking about. Divert it to Coventry.
Not so sure at all this relates to the Coventry bus tragedy.
Let's not quite hang the guy out to dry just yet. It would be incredible if he did try to make a joke out of people dying and doing so just after the incident occurred.
Find that very hard to believe. Incredibly insensitive if true.
Like I.said maybe he just thought a bus had crashed into Sainsburyss.Not so sure, Nick.

But looking at the story, it was suggested two people had died pretty much from the off, so I would say it was highly likely he WOULD know that.One suspects he didn't know people had died - however, it's highly likely it referred to the incident.
He doesn't have to use it to actually refer to it.Like I.said maybe he just thought a bus had crashed into Sainsburyss.
He didn't say send it to coventry he said divert it to, so how can he say it's because of the saying send it to coventry when he didn't use it?
I think most.did know what he meant because there had just been a bus crash there.He doesn't have to use it to actually refer to it.
Everyone would know what he meant.
Well, if he did mean that, then yes.I think most.did know what he meant because there had just been a bus crash there.
If somebody said to me that something should be diverted to coventry, it doesn't instantly spring to mind that's what they mean. Unless there's just been a plane crash here and they are talking about a plane full of people they were unhappy about being diverted here.
I'm not hanging him out to dry, just don't see why he's bullshitting and back tracking about it. Just apologise.
Well, if he did mean that, then yes.
Just saying he doesn't have to use the actual words 'sent to Coventry.'
If when England were losing badly last night someone had tweeted 'Susan Boyle has just taken to the stage and burst into song, people would know they meant 'it's not over until the fat lady sings' and now she's singing.
It was suggested from the very off that 2 people had died when the crash happened, so you would have to think if he knew of the crash, he would know 2 people died. And if so, that is a pretty sick thing to say.

Yeah Terrible.Only the cov telegraph were talking about deaths i think? I kept looking on the bbc and sky websites and they mentioned only injuries until after 11. I actually thought the cov telegraph were a bit out of order at the time seeing as people were trying to contact relatives.
Why did he have to mention sending the england bus to coventry? The tweet he was replying to was "Taxi for england".
Anyway. Terrible for all involved.
Few Issues to think about.
Road works In the vicinity.
Third or fourth revision around that Junction since It became free space.
Parked cars In the vicinity, Is that allowed the days.
I have to say the arrangements down there and many many changes all around. Pool Meadow since the construction. Of Whittle Arches and creation of Millennium square create confusion.
Extremely sad for all those mourning loss of loved ones.
It's a lottery how these random events happen, such as how a bus to Leamington and Stratford Is routed that way or had It been a single decker the poor boy may have survived.
RIP.
Always said having that pedestrian crossing there was asking for trouble. It's just after the bend and I've been across it a few times and always thought it could prove dangerous.
