Wind‑torn tarp threatens tragedy in Tefía

The tarp ended up on the front windshield of a bus, which the driver managed to control

A quick reaction by a bus driver prevented a disaster near Tefía when a tarp equipped with metal fastenings broke free and struck the front windshield of a line bus traveling on the road.

The driver kept the vehicle under control, avoiding any material or personal injuries. The incident turned out to be a frightening scare for both the driver and the passengers.

All indications point to a large net that had become detached from a nearby farm due to the wind, which was not particularly strong in the area that afternoon.

Emergency services were called in to help remove the tarp and the metal components from the bus.
