The bus, which was carrying about 20 people, was traveling along the street along the river, but at the intersection it turned sharply onto the bridge, where it collided with a car. He immediately broke through the bridge barrier and crashed into the river. There he sank and only the roof was visible from him. Through it, the rescuers rescued people from the bus and took them to the shore in boats.
“Rescuers rescued a total of nine people from the sunken bus. Two are in a serious condition, four are in a state of clinical death, three have died,” TASS reported.
Seven dozen people and 18 ambulances took part in the rescue work after the accident in the center of the second largest Russian city, the agency reported.
She further stated that, according to the police, the driver failed to control the steering, which he was not paying enough attention to, and therefore he was detained.
The bus belonged to the Taksi company, which helps provide public transport in St. Petersburg. Its vehicles run on 11 lines in the city. According to TASS, the company was previously fined in the order of hundreds of thousands of rubles when it grossly violated the terms of the license, according to the court’s decision from January of this year.
