INDEPENDENT crash experts are being sought by Bus Éireann to investigate the circumstances of the bus crash in Waterford city centre that left 19 people injured, it emerged yesterday.

Only one of those injured in Wednesday’s crash remained in hospital last night but many people were still trying to come to terms with the accident. Locals expressed relief that no one had been killed.

The accident occurred when a single bus mounted a pavement and crashed into a steel lamp post on the busy main quay of the city.
