Nine hurt as roof ripped from bus


Ambulance crews said it was "astonishing" more were not hurt


Nine people were taken to hospital after a bus was driven into a bridge and its roof ripped off.
The Travel West Midlands double-decker bus hit the bridge in Corngreaves Road in Cradley Heath, West Midlands, just before noon on Saturday.
One teenage girl suffered a broken nose while another girl complained of head, neck and back pains. They were taken to Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley along with seven others aged between five and 20. A WMAS spokeswoman said: "Given that there were a number of passengers on the upper deck at the time of the crash, it is astonishing that patients were not more seriously injured as this clearly had the potential to cause more harm."

Strange that the front is still intact almost as if it was reversed under the bridge.

Aye, it does look strange.

It's amazing how many times this still happens.

Crazy, parking sensors on just about every car helping numptys to park and they can't find something for buses?
