Four people are now known to have lost their lives in an horrific accident in which an off-route Stagecoach Megabus en route from Philadelphia to Toronto struck an overhead bridge clearly signed as having just 10'9" headroom. The Van Hool Astromega is over 13' high.
Police and Stagecoach officials are investigating why the driver took this unauthorised route instead of making his scheduled stop in Syracuse, NY. Reports suggest that the driver had missed the exit into Syracuse centre and was looking for an alternative route.
A video report of the accident can be seen at http://videos.syracuse.com/post-standard/2010/09/onondaga_lake_parkway_bus_cras.html
