Mr Cassar

Its better to check the facts before commenting. Those cars you see were parked. The bus had a mechanical fault and the driver was lucid enough to steer the bus to the right hand side or else the bus would have had a great drop.

... breathalyse who?? the cars?? .. well this is a first .. cars that are parked should be breathalysed & alsa heve their insuarance papers checked !!!!! .. Mr Cassar ... better check if the bus is insured because the driver's got a lot of paying to do to the owners of the 6 parked cars!!!!

it would be very interesting Mr. Cassar to have confirmation no one was injured, before blurting out such accusations. doh!

Mr. C Cassar, accidents happen not only when people are drunk, the bus was full of turists and the driver was brave enough in avoiding a much serious accident,as the bus developed a brake failure. If he had continued to drive on his side the bus would have had 4 storey fall. i don't think that drunk people are concious enough to think fast in such situations!!!

Don't jump to conclusions, this was truly a genuine accident, there was no need for a breathalyser it seems that the bus developed some engine trouble and thank God that the driver was a very good driver cause if he didn't turn the bus to the wrong side of the road and hit the wall it would have fallen on the other side and the height there is more than 20 meters. I happen to know the driver and he had never had an accident before.

Typical Maltese responses. EVERY driver should be breathalysed when someone is hurt at the very least. It takes 5 minutes to perform and if the driver has nothing to hide then no problem is there?

One day in about 50 years, Malta will join the rest of the EU in road legislation that's in existence in 2011.

it would be very interesting if for once in your commeting life you did not question events as if you are the Pope and we are the common sinners.

Be it hunting, be it a accident...all you're interested in is accusing others of abuse and nagging...my my...your life seems to be a lost battle of the naggers...

Are you being tested for possible low IQ before commenting?

Well I agree with some of the comments here, not the one about testing alcohol levels. One thing i would like to pointg out is that the bus should have been fitted with an emergency air brake that should stop the bus in the case of brake failure which would have helped the driver. Having said that the driver did a good job in steering the bus into the wall to make it stop, he was not drunk as it's hard to think so fast in these situations even when sober let alone drunk. Mr. C. Cassar you should think before you speak sir as your comment isin't valid in any way shape or form.
