An investigation has been launched after footage emerged of a bus being driven through flood waters on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The footage, believed to have been captured during last week’s severe storms and posted to TikTok, shows the almost submerged bus driving through brown water that reached halfway up its windscreen.The bus was filmed being plowed through flood waters.The NSW Government and SES officials have repeatedly urged residents to avoid driving into floodwaters with an “if it’s flooded, forget it” message.
“Please don‘t drive through flood waters, we cannot say that more than enough,” NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said last week as heavy rain cause flash flooding on multiple roads across the state.Co-host Matt Shirvington said the driver is “absolutely stupid” for ignoring years of warnings from officials.
“He or she will be in a huge amount of trouble, because they will be able to track that pretty easily,” Natalie Barr added.A spokesman from Northern Beaches bus service operator Keolis Downer said the incident was “under investigation”. “Keolis Downer prioritises the safety of its passengers and drivers at all times, and has strict protocols in place governing driving through floodwaters,” the spokesman said.
“We are aware of this incident, and it is currently under investigation. It would be inappropriate to comment any further at this time.”
