Five people, including four kids, miraculously escaped injury when wooden beam shot through bus window after falling from van
FOUR schoolchildren and a driver had a miraculous escape when a large wooden plank from a passing vehicle came crashing through the windscreen of their bus.
A young child was getting off the stationary coach in Co Donegal, Ireland when a plank and ladder came darting off the back of a van travelling in the Derry direction.
The ladder pierced the roof of the McGee Coach Hire Ford Transit while the wooden beam crashed through the passenger side of the windscreen, narrowly missing the driver, before landing in the back where four shocked boys and girls were sitting.
One of the children’s father insisted it was a “miracle” nobody was killed in the freak incident which occurred at Garshooey, between Killea and Carrigans, at around 3pm on Wednesday afternoon.
The man, who did not wished to be named, said the children were on their way home from Coxtown National School when the incident occurred.
