Bus accident on North Deeside Road, Cults
This is a photograph of a double decker bus belonging to W. Alexander and Sons Ltd, which overturned on the North Deeside Road opposite Wellwood, Pitfodels on 3rd October 1935. The bus was on its way to Aberdeen with a nearly full load of passengers, when the front wheels locked, swerving the bus into the right side of the road. The driver, Alexander Davidson, tried to pull the bus round but it mounted the kerb and struck a stone wall, causing it to overbalance and topple onto the roadway. The driver was able to open the emergency window at the back of the bus and the passengers escaped. Only three children were badly injured with cuts; others, including the conductress, only had minor scratches, bruises and shock.
