This Bus & Train accident goes back to the 50's. It was carrying school children along Tapleys Hill Road at the time of the collision. The Tow Truck is a GMC 6x6, fitted with a Holmes W45 crane and was repowered with first a Cadillac side valve V/8 (petrol), then a GM 453 Diesel. Note the police officers uniform. |
