According to her, the passengers managed to get off the bus also thanks to solidarity. “Another bus was driving in the same direction, whose driver stopped and helped the passengers,” the spokeswoman added.
“People were standing there and it didn’t look like anyone had a health problem and needed help; she also stopped some cars, “a co-driver told the Diary from a car that was passing the place of the fire just on the way from staying at the cottage. “I think we were one of the last to pass. The bus already had an interior in one flame and the fire was radiating directly from it, “she stated. “I’d say the bus looked a bit like a tour bus, but I don’t know exactly; it was only a moment before we passed, “she stated.
