A SOMERSET man who was left paralysed after a bus crash in 2018 is still questioning how and why it happened. Rob Butt, 47, of Barton St David, near Somerton, sustained a severe spinal cord injury when a city sightseeing open-top bus in Zurrieq, Malta, crashed into low-lying tree branches in April 2018. His wife, Kathy, and three children were also on the bus. Mr Butt, who the head of history at Downside School in Radstock, is now tetraplegic and wheelchair-dependent. The pair had secured teaching jobs in Malaysia before the crash and were looking forward to starting a new life there. “Both Rob and I had recently secured teaching jobs in Malaysia and we were looking forward to a new adventure overseas together as a family,” said Mrs Butt, a teacher at Millfield School in Street.
