Accident on guided busway

According to the Cambridge News, there was an accident yesterday evening on the guided busway at Buchan Street, Cambridge, when a teenage cyclist was struck by a bus. The ambulance took 46 minutes to arrive.

One aspect of this report doesn't add up. Guided buses don't go along Buchan Street which is a small residential street near King's Hedges Road.

If anyone can clarify what actually happened, I'd be interested to hear. Is it possible that the young person who was injured lived in Buchan Street?

Link to the report here.

Busway items in the Cambridge News

An ambulance crew was unable to reach a cyclist who had collapsed on the busway cycle track near Fen Drayton, because they did not have the security code to remove the bollards. The County Council had sent out the codes to the emergency services but somehow this particular ambulance crew was unaware of the code. First aid was administered by members of Over Running Club who happened to be nearby.    http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/News/Ambulance-blocked-by-guided-busway-bollards-04102012.htm

Rain and the guided bus have apparently reduced the incidence of anti-socail behaviour in Histon. But unhelpfully the short article does not explain why.
