The aftermath of yesterdays tragedy

[Xtrophic]

Yesterday a tragic accident occured on a busroute between my hometown Östhammar and Uppsala. For a few of my friends it became a tragic experience as 6 passengers onboard the two buses that collided died.

The driver of one of the buses is the girlfriend of one friend of mine I attended school with together. Fortunatly both drivers survived the collision and will be able to provide the the investigators with information on what happened.

Wow. I'm sorry for such a terrible accident. I'm just really glad that no one you know was killed. But it is terrible for those who did lose their lives or were injured.

It is terrible when accidents like that happen. There was same kind of tragedy few years back in Finland too.
Good to hear your friend is gonna be ok, though this must be difficult for her.

Accidents involving mass transit are always traumatic to the comunities involved. Particularly when it's a small town. My condolences to anyone who lost someone.
