[00:00.85]B More than 30 astronomers

[00:03.88]on a sightseeing trip

[00:04.97]to the museum of science had an amazing escape,

[00:07.92]after their trolleybus crashed

[00:09.48]into a greengrocer's truck on Park Avenue.

[00:12.71]The accident, which took place in Kingston,

[00:14.98]a town southwest of London,

[00:16.87]happened because of the fog.

[00:18.82]The 60-year-old driver of the truck

[00:20.60]did not know that he was parked

[00:22.13]in the way of the trolleybus.

[00:23.93]When the driver finally discovered

[00:25.59]the trolleybus coming towards him

[00:27.44]through the fog,

[00:28.19]he tried to move but his tyres got stuck

[00:30.65]in the muddy ground.

[00:32.28]At the last minute,he jumped out of the truck,

[00:35.10]hurting his ankle,before the trolleybus crashed

[00:38.92]into the truck, pushing it 20 yards.

[00:41.38]"I would have been killed

[00:42.07]if I'd stayed in the truck,"he said afterwards.

[00:45.21]A spokesman for the police said,

[00:47.03]"It's amazing that no one was badly hurt.

[00:49.83]When we arrived at the scence,

[00:51.15]we called an ambulance

[00:52.21]as we saw blood everywhere.

[00:54.05]We soon realized, however,

[00:55.55]that the blood was really strawberry juice!

[00:58.17]The greengrocer's truck had been carrying

[00:59.79]a load of fresh strawberries."

[01:01.97]He praised the bravery of the astronomers

[01:03.63]who were helped out of the windows

[01:05.26]of the trolleybus by firemen.
