The family of a 77-year-old bus driver whose vehicle crashed into a Coventry supermarket, killing two people, say he is "devastated to the core".
Relatives of Kailash Chander, ex-mayor of Leamington Spa who is assisting police with inquiries, said the crash was "beyond anyone's imagination".
Passenger Rowan Fitzgerald, seven, died when the bus crashed into Sainsbury's on Trinity Street on Saturday.
Pedestrian Dora Hancox, in her 70s and from Nuneaton, was also killed.

Maybe he's into buses loads are some of these "rallys" attract hundreds of buses and thousands of enthusiasts we are a nation of "anoraks" and some people just find retirement too difficult they need things to do so people work sometimes into their 80's

I think that post is a candidate for the most crass post of the year. Tel you need to actually think about what you are posting I know it's difficult but I'm sure there's some nice men in white coats can show you how and perhaps give you some medication to calm you down at the same time
