Quite uncanny I posted about seatbelts on buses yesterday, then a truck T bones a bus in Mornington Peninsula 😲
I saw that! I was actually about to point it out but I didn't know when exactly the accident happened and thought perhaps it'd happened before you posted and I just heard about it today
Seatbelts are most effective for restraining passengers during sudden deceleration. They don’t do that much for a side impact, unfortunately.
