Whoooopsie. That bus shelter is (was) opposite the stop from where l caught the 17 home during our Withdean days.

No idea what caused this and I'm not saying this is the case here but I go up and down here often and the coaches, with that entire lane all to themselves don't half get along at a fair clip.

I bet I know! Coach in inside coach/taxi and motorbike lane, Audi cuts into lane to go up Varndean Rd. I wasn't there but I'm almost certain that's what happened given the impact on the coach and the fact it took out the bus stop, just very, very lucky a family wasn't waiting for the bus. London road is terribly designed and lethal for motorbikes especially inexperienced riders.

Oh yes it's obvious for all to see that the culprit car must hane been an Audi.
Why not a vehicle maufactured by Peugeot? or perhaps Kia?
In fairness the car was not the culprit I'm guessing
Who was driving the coach?
Frank Spencer?

The manufacture of the car bares no relation to the accident as far as i can see. If I'm right i would imagine the car driver didn't anticipate being undercut by a coach thats just in the road design, given it was on Sat there could well have been a traffic jam getting into the centre, and the coach driver probably didn't anticipate a car cutting across. This is just my view to what could have happened
