Garda tells court of ABS cable fault in bus

A garda who arrived at the scene of a fatal bus crash in which five Meath schoolgirls were killed has told a jury that he examined the underside of the vehicle and found two ABS cables were disconnected or broken.

Garda James Egan, a public service vehicle inspector with An Garda Síochána, said he regarded the broken cables as "significant" and he also noted a "DIY job" where cable ties had connected the ABS cables to the brake pad.
