      BUS bosses have launched an investigation into claims that a man disabled by MRSA was left stranded in the rain by a driver. Wheelchair-bound Norman Turner, who lost his left leg to MRSA last year, said that a Blackburn Transport driver shut the doors on him and drove off as he tried to board. His sister Lana Scott had already got on to the bus and claimed the driver said he couldn't help a disabled passenger because he had a bad back. She said she had to insist he stopped so she could walk back to be with Norman. Mr Turner said that at the time he was trying to come to terms with his loss of mobility and the driver's "insensitive" actions were like a "slap in the face."
