There has been a pretty big bus crash near Safety Beach. Truck carrying scaffolding t-boned a bus.

There were quite a few in 1989 in relatively quick succession, mainly caused by tired / drugged truck drivers hitting buses on the highway.

It ultimately led to working hours restrictions, plus drug testing for truck drivers.

Looks like the 788, don't think it's the 887.

Damn, those streets are always pretty quiet.
