On Saturday evening, a devastating accident occurred on the outskirts of Glasgow as a First Bus service, route 4A, crashed into a railway bridge on Cook Street. The impact was so severe that the double-decker bus became wedged underneath the bridge, leaving five passengers injured and one fighting for their life.
According to witnesses, the bus was heading towards the O2 Academy when it took a wrong turn and collided with the bridge. Photos taken at the scene showed the bus with its roof smashed and passengers trapped inside. One passenger, Spike Turner, described the chaos and shock of the moment, stating that the driver had crashed "straight into the bridge." He also mentioned that while he was luckily unharmed, others were not as fortunate.
As emergency services arrived at the scene, four of the passengers were immediately taken to the hospital, while three were treated and released. Turner also mentioned that the man sitting in the front seat was in a "really, really bad state" with a severe head injury. The incident was confirmed by First Bus, who stated that the bus on the 4A route had hit a railway bridge at around 6 pm, causing injuries to multiple passengers.
A spokesman for First Bus expressed their concern for all those involved and stated that an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the accident. They are also cooperating with the authorities in their inquiries. The spokesperson also mentioned that their thoughts are with everyone affected by this unfortunate incident.
While it is not known which direction the bus was traveling, the 4A route typically runs between Broomhill and Eaglesham. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of following traffic regulations and being cautious while driving, especially when navigating under low bridges. Our hearts go out to all those affected, and we hope for a speedy recovery for the injured passengers.
