Repeated bus crashes highlight safety failures at Salford bridge
In Salford, a troubling pattern has emerged as three buses have crashed under the same bridge over several years, with the latest incident leaving multiple passengers injured. The Manchester Evening News has reported that despite previous accidents, safety warnings may have been inadequate or removed entirely. This week’s crash involved a bus from the number 100 Bee Network service, resulting in three people sustaining serious injuries, including a 19-year-old woman who was ejected from the vehicle. The bridge has repeatedly seen similar incidents, leading residents to voice their frustrations regarding potentially insufficient warning signs. Following the latest crash, local authorities have promised immediate improvements including new signage and barriers to enhance safety. An investigation is underway to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident and the responsibilities of both the local council and the bridge’s management.

"If the wooden beam was there, or had been replaced, it would have hit that first."
Andrew Fisher highlights how missing infrastructure can exacerbate accidents.
The repeated accidents at the Salford bridge reveal not only technical failures in signage and safety measures but also a troubling lack of accountability among responsible parties. Local residents have persistently raised these concerns, suggesting that a culture of complacency has developed. Even though immediate steps have been taken to address safety after this latest incident, this reactive approach raises broader questions about infrastructure management and public safety. If lives are at risk, as evidenced by the serious injuries sustained, the system for ensuring signage and safety must be re-evaluated to prevent future tragedies. It is crucial that authorities not only respond to incidents but also proactively address the underlying causes that lead to repeated accidents.

- This bridge has a history of danger that must not be ignored.

The repeated accidents under the Salford bridge indicate serious issues with safety signage and responsiveness from responsible parties. Local residents have raised concerns for years, making the recent injuries particularly alarming and indicative of a broader systemic failure.
As the investigation unfolds, it underscores the pressing need for effective safety measures.
