Twelve people hospitalized after school bus hits railway bridge in Darlington.
 

Quote from The Sun "Driver misjudged the height of the bridge"!

THERE WAS A BLOODY BIG SIGN, TELLING HIM THE HEIGHT OF THE BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is clearly visivble, in the picture.

More a question of "Brain Fade" Drivers get used to driving throuh there with single deckers i expect. Lack of cencentration and they forget the upper deck. I have known it to happen in Warwick a few times.

Again, there is a sign on the bridge: 10'9". Which is pretty marginal for a single decker...

And another:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-21229913

11' 9" this time!

And another one.

I wonder if he was using a SAT-NAV device to find the shortest route back to the depot ?
