Calls for safety measures following bus crash death

A CORONER’S jury has recommended several safety improvements be made to Dublin’s busiest junction where an English tourist was fatally injured by a bus.

Maree Buckland died after she was struck by a double-decker bus on the capital’s O’Connell Street near the Spire.

The 60-year-old suffered severe head injuries from the collision on September 15, 2005, and remained in a coma for eight days at St James’s Hospital, Dublin. She died on September 22.
