The pic shows that the roof pillars have bent, and the main roof itself

There's a better(*) pic here;

Thats a large chunk of tree. You'd think the driver could hardly fail
to spot it in the way though they seem not to spot low bridges either
so who knows. I wonder if the bus was on diversion.

Don't think it was on diversion. One branch is down and it loks like
another is hanging off. That's a tremedous amount of damage caused by
a branch of even a fullt grown plane tree. What speed was it going at
the time?
