Скачать или смотреть BUS CRASH IN GALASHIELS - 8.12.19 - PETER HOGG BUS DRIVER FINED BUT NOT BANNED

A bus left the road near Galashiels Railway station on the night of December 8th 2019 and landed by the side of the railway track. The police cordoned off the area and the recovery of the vehicle began. No one was hurt in the incident but the driver, Mark Woodcock, who claimed his foot got stuck on the bus’s accelerator, was fined £600 and was given 7 penalty points, but he escaped a ban. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.

The incident led to all trains between Edinburgh and Tweedbank being cancelled for a period while the area was made safe.

Another Peter Hogg bus a year before smashed into a BMW car in Jedburgh. The bus driver was issued with a fixed penalty ticket.

In a third incident involving another Peter Hogg bus, also in Jedburgh in 2016, saw it career down an embankment and end up on the edge of the riverbank. That driver was also charged with dangerous driving.

Not something the firm will look back on with any pride with three similar incidents in four years.
