Costly error in judgment near old Broadcasting House
Two unlucky drivers will learn that an error in judgment can be extremely costly even when there is no human injury.
The driver of motor car HB 743 was heading west along Princes Street. When he was about to cross the junction at High Street, he met with an unexpected fate.
The car chocked tightly against the utility poles
He told this publication that he saw a Canter approaching the corner at least 50 feet away and had signaled an intention to turn east into Princes Street in the vicinity of the former Broadcasting House.
This indication he said, motivated his decision to cross the corner but unknowing to him and outside of his line of sight, a minibus, BNN 4777 had decided to accelerate and overtake the Canter as it was about to make the turn but collided with the car at the centre of the junction.
The impact forced the car to careen into two utility poles at the southwest corner of the junction where they awaited the arrival of police ranks to intervene.
By the time the police arrived the minibus driver had already removed what had by this time evolved into a traffic obstacle and the duo marked the roadway indicating the point of collision.
Both drivers sustained no physical injuries but rather learnt that even in an injury-free accident someone will have to foot the bill for the repairs as a result of an error in judgment.
