Crikey, I didn't think there were any roads big enough in that area for a bus of that size.

No details about possible legal actions against the bus driver have been revealed to the press.

The link suggests that the deceased took the curve too fast and drove into the bus. Even a straight road is too difficult for some. Add a curve and .......

Probably took at high speed in his 20s.

Think he used to work with me.

Only knew his nickname.

He grew up in Sweden and spoke perfect Swedish.
