A Wellington bus driver who drove a double-decker bus into a low-roofed garage causing $98,000 worth of damage was not unjustifiably dismissed, the Employment Relations Authority has ruled.
New Zealand website Stuff reported Ivan Young was a bus driver for Wellington bus company Cityline, which operated in the regions of Eastbourne and Kaiwharawhara.
In March, Young drove a double-decker bus into a Cityline garage built for single-decker buses.
The “substantial” damage cost $98,000 to repair and ultimately contributed to Young’s dismissal, the authority said.
