a bus driver's wheel came off in his hands.
"I was terrified. From where I was sitting I saw the steering wheel come off in the driver's hands then the bus went off the road."
Bus company Arriva launched an investigation but concluded it was a freak accident caused by a fault which just affected one bus.
"We carried out a full investigation, which has been concluded. We are satisfied that this was a problem that was relating solely to this bus.
It is impossible to say exactly what caused it, but the results of the investigation were that it was a one-off.."

I've never heard of anything like this. It was either a prank (and therefore criminal), negligence (during maintenance or initial assembly), or a very very unusual happening.
I suppose if the nut hadn't been properly tightened (at initial assembly) then it might come off but . . . :confused: |
