Gardaí seek to interview traumatised bus driver

GARDAÍ were last night waiting to interview the traumatised driver of a Dublin Bus that ploughed into a crowded bus queue, killing five people and injuring 16.

The driver, who has been with the company for a considerable number of years, spent the weekend receiving medical treatment and counselling in hospital following Saturday afternoon's tragedy.

The gardaí and Dublin Bus have launched separate inquiries into how the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle and mounted the pavement, at the bus stop on Wellington Quay on the south side of the River Liffey.
