A mechanic has been banned from the roads after crashing into a bus and causing an 80-year-old passenger to suffer a bleed on her brain.
Around 40 passengers were on the Lothian bus, including ten who were standing, and they were “propelled” forward in the impact. Gunn, 19, appeared at the city’s sheriff court on Wednesday and admitted a charge of causing serious injury to the pensioner by driving without due care and attention. Defence agent Andrew Houston said Gunn had been moving from “one lane to another” at a time when the buses only rule wasn’t operational.He added: “He wasn’t sufficiently far ahead of the bus to carry out a safe manoeuvre.”
