It happened at the height of Villa Gobernador Gálvez. The driver was not carrying passengers because he had finished his journey. He suffered polytrauma.
The image is impressive and looks like something out of a movie scene. Far from that, it happened this Wednesday in Villa Gobernador Gálvez. A bus lost control, fell from a collector on the Rosario-Buenos Aires highway and ended up suspended between the asphalt and the water of the Saladillo stream.
The dramatic episode occurred shortly before 11 p.m., when the driver of Rosario Bus line 126 was going to the company’s shed to return the unit since it had finished its last journey. That is why, miraculously, he was not carrying any passengers during the accident that could have meant a tragedy.
For reasons that are trying to be established, the driver hit the guardrail, fell into the stream and the vehicle got stuck in the ditch located on the west side of the highway, at the intersection with Bordabehere street.

Police officers arrived at the scene after the notice of the 911 Emergency Central. The victim was transferred to the Güemes sanatorium with polytrauma, but without serious injuries.
The bus, meanwhile, was guarded by a company guard all night. Late this Thursday morning, it had not yet been removed.

The street where the accident occurred connects with the Rosario-Buenos Aires highway in Villa Gobernador Gálvez, south of Rosario.
They investigate whether it was a mechanical failure or recklessness of the driver.
