Bus hits bridge
THREE people were hospitalised in Glasgow on Sunday, May 21, after the roof of a doubledecker bus ran into the underside of a railway bridge.
The incident occurred at around 11.35 am in the Tradeston district of the city. Network Rail Scotland immediately suspended its rail services in both directions between Paisley Gilmour Street and Glasgow Central. They started running again by 2.30pm.
A tweet accompanied by an image from the scene, read: “This is what we’re dealing with right now. No trains can run between Glasgow Central and Paisley Gilmour St in either direction until our engineers have checked that the bridge is safe to reopen. They can only do this once the bus has been removed. @ScotRail.” saying, ‘Oh my God, it’s Ed Sheeran’.”
Roads in the vicinity were also temporarily cordoned off. Emergency responders were deployed to the location on Cook Street where they tended to the injured passengers.
Three casualties were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. As a result of the accident, the roof of the bus was completely torn off. Once the vehicle was removed, an inspection by Network Rail Scotland was undertaken to check the condition of the bridge.
The Sheeran dead ringer explained that he can’t help the way he looks, and was hurt by the social media’s decision. Just because he happens to bear a striking similarity to one of the world’s most famous pop stars should not be a reason for closing his account.
Jones threw himself at the mercy of TikTok insisting that, “I make videos of me living my life as an Ed lookalike. It’s my fulltime job. I was keen to promote what I do and market my business.
“Maybe TikTok should ban Ed for impersonating me as well given that we look the same,” he concluded.
In response, TikTok replied: “It was determined that your account has violated our Community Guidelines and cannot be restored.”
Following an appeal by a national newspaper, TikTok thankfully reversed their decision.
