Possibly 1 of a group of 10/ 12 coming of the ferry ?????
Why do you speak so much utter b.s. on such a constant bases ?
Ooh picky lot just saying time corresponds with a group coming off red funnel ferries ….
If they were part of a group then one of said group would have stopped to help no?
And if they were part of a group, would that group not have noticed the accident and gotten involved rather than a Bus driver.?
