Summary

A tragic bus collision in Napier claims the life of 36-year-old mother Olawande Braimoh, who was crossing Tennyson Street with traffic lights when struck by a GoBay bus. The 72-year-old driver now faces charges of careless driving causing death, while the community mourns Wande — a vibrant new arrival from Nigeria, pregnant and starting a job at the Ministry of Social Development just blocks from where she died. GoBus offers condolences, but legal proceedings are now underway as the driver awaits court appearances.
