Driver averts bus tragedy
BRIT holidaymakers narrowly avoided death after a bus overturned on a dangerous mountain road in the Canary Islands.
The coach, carrying 22, came close to plummeting down a deep ravine on La Gomera after brakes failed.
Local mayor Manuel Plasencia praised the driver for pulling off “a very intelligent manoeuvre” which averted a tragedy.
A man of 70, with head injuries, and a woman, 67, with a back injury, were taken to hospital.
