This is false. A 74-year-old man has died after being struck by a single-decker bus in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh. It is standard Police procedure to close a road for a significant amount of time when dealing with a fatality. https://www.scotland.police.uk/what-s-happening/news/2024/november/fatal-road-crash-cowgate-edinburgh/ https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/news/staffordshire/news/2021/april-2021/behind-the-cordon---looking-at-what-happens-when-a-road-is-closed-following-a-collision/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1852852052700872749

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
