Driver makes lucky escape from flaming bus in Łódź

No passengers were injured as the bus was returning to its depot and was empty. Passersby and the driver could not believe their eyes as the bus burst into flames in the city's center. "I knew something was wrong because the brakes were blocked. I felt the smell coming from underneath the tires on the right side. I immediately stopped, got out the fire extinguisher and tried to put out the fire," said the 57 year old bus driver. However it turned out that the best the driver could do was call for a fire brigade. (Fakt, p. 11) A.K.
