What's that Cityliner Bus doing in the grass area?
A teh-tarik break maybe? but then we do not have a mamak store there. |
|
 |
On closer examination, we
notice that a few glass panels on the bus are broken and the front
portion of the bus (hidden by the grass) is damaged.
|
|
|
We can now see that the back panel
of the Bus has been ripped off and also that the front of the bus is
quite badly damaged. But what is it doing there? (The infamous Granite Quarry
acts as a backdrop)
|
|
|
We spot some debris left
behind by the bus on the
road kerb, notice the flattened fencing and the sunken grass trail to
where the bus is finally resting.
|
|
|
Goodness gracious, look at the
direction of the bus (it's against traffic flow) Did it do a dash from across
the other side of the LDP? Was anyone seriously hurt?
|
Question : What if the Bus had
crashed a few hundred metres down the road on top of this, which is just
next to USJ 23?
