The bus driver almost suffered a heart attack too. I feel so sad for the girl, and her family. If the tree should have been pruned, then the council will be very liable for keeping the highways in a dangerous condition, and will answer for that.
I remember interviews of the driver of the bus the bomb went off in, was traumatised for a very long time, as will this poor driver. I wouldn't be surprised he hated traffic-light-runners, like the mayor and me, but will now be mentally hamstrung because a tree helped him kill a lass. Sometimes life ain't funny; not one bit.
