A MyCiti bus crashed into Truth Coffee shop on Buitenkant Street in the CBD on Monday evening after allegedly coming ‘under attack’. Luckily there were only a few light injuries but details are still sketchy about the cause of the crash.

According to witnesses, the bus came down Buitenkant at speed before tearing into a newly erected parklet outside Truth Coffee.

According to the owner of Truth Coffee, David Donde, the bus went straight into their front door coming to a stop only when it hit the sturdy walls of the old building.

“The bus crunched into our 1898 building’s wall… I can say 1898 brick vs bus, bricks: 1 one bus: 0.”

There has been no word about the alleged attack, but with Cape Town Police Station next door to the coffee shop, the fuzz was at least already on the scene.

Thank goodness it wasn’t mid-day, otherwise, this could have been much worse.
