A bus operating a scheduled service left the roadway during a left turn and crashed into residential properties, causing significant structural damage to a carport. The impact caused the carport to collapse onto a parked car, with the bus continuing into the front yard of a neighbouring property and damaging a retaining wall. OTSI investigates transport incidents to identify contributing factors and sharing lessons learnt. We provide recommendations and highlight actions for operators, regulators, and government agencies to prevent recurrence and improve passenger and public safety.
