That's what post 10 says.

What's everyone's theories on what happened? I'm curious to see what everyone says

Check the bus incidents thread out. 
The same patter is in there, including theories about how and why it happened.

There was another thread created about this incident, but that was merged in to the bus incidents conversation.

Here's my theory knowing nothing other than what I read in the news and saw in the pictures.

Driver picked passenger up at the stop round the corner, pulled away and went round the corner, started doing that thing where they faff about with the money and started to drift to the left.
As the driver hit the verge and realised their mistake, they quickly spun the wheel right which made the front left wheel lose grip on the soft ground, and it slid down the hill and toppled.

Thanks Colombo.....


and just one more thing............

Drivers being suspended (with pay) is normal after a collision. Not sure why it's being spun by the media, nor should it have been disclosed as it is encroaching on the driver's data protection rights.

Ben Maxfield, who appears to be performing a slimmed down MD role, should really know better when it comes to dealing with the press... especially after saying nobody was injured initially.

Not really an incident but an X1 broke down heading into Hetton-Le-Hole Interchange, it blocked the entire intersection.

5429 on the 65 arriving from Seaham hit a pedestrian as it pulled into Durham Bus Station.

Out of respect I will not make the obvious location based joke.

Seaham? The driver obviously didn't.

Stagecoach North East 28016 was involved in an incident a few days ago, here are photos and an article posted by Sunderland Global Media on Facebook.

“New photos have been submitted showing the damage done in last night's horrific crash between a bus and a car next to Grindon lane.

Two passengers were injured. Witnesses have claimed that the car driver subsequently fled the scene on foot”.

Looks like the car hit the bus at some speed.

Ye, the car ran a red light and then the driver did a runner.

Shiney Row roundabout, according to posts on Facebook.

Barrack Row? There's often stuff going through that fence.

If it hasn't been done already, they can get the angle grinder to the rear where the fares are when they're on. Kill two birds with one stone

There's an irony in there, because 688 is the one with the "avoid parking hassle" tagline! [emoji23]

Just found a photo from the rear. Can see the tagline on full show. 

Can't upload with this version of the forum unfortunately.

Key word (don't know how to) even if I could it's the screenshot from the Facebook post I got sent

Day saved. Jim Scott (formerly of the Northern Echo!) has made it there:

At least someone's getting a new shed!

Why? 

Anyway, there's photos in the Bus Incidents thread.
