Crashed school bus parts on Trade Me
Published June 21st, 2006
A Hamilton principal says the auction of pieces of a school bus that crashed is a sick act.
The Turley Motors bus, carrying 40 Fraser High students, ploughed through a retaining wall in Pukete yesterday morning. Two people suffered minor injuries.
Andrew Turnbull, whose property was damaged, has placed pieces of the wreckage – including indicator and floor parts – on the internet auction site TradeMe.
Fraser High School principal, Martin Elliot, says he’s at a complete loss as to why someone would want to sell parts of the bus, let alone buy them.
He says he hopes his students will ignore the auction.
The auction has so far attracted a single bid of $10.
