Passengers and motorists who came upon the wreckage said the impact was so severe it appeared as though the bus had crossed into the wrong lane — straight into oncoming traffic.
Many are already debating responsibility and roadOh Lord have mercy on us… be with us on every road we are travelling.”
And some are challenging speculation over injuries:
“The injury info is inaccurate, there were no injuries in the bus except for 2.”
The accident occurred on a notoriously dangerous descent with tight bends — a corridor long associated with fatal crashes and mechanical stress on heavy vehicles.
Earlier reports suggest that the bus may have been overtaking illegally on double-solid lines, placing it directly into opposing traffic. However, official verification from transport authorities and Greyhound management is still
pending.This was not a minor scrape — it was a brutal, high-force impact that ripped off the entire face of the vehicle. The metal frame that once enclosed the driver is now twisted like wire, the windscreen gone, the front seating bay pushed inward, and debris strewn along the yellow centerline.
