TWO people were taken to hospital with minor injuries after a crash involving a car and a bus.

Emergency services were called to the scene at the junction of Bradford Road and Bishops Road, in Great Lever, at about 3pm today.

Zack Eckersley Pallet, who was on the bus at the time, said: “Most of the passengers look out of the rear window. To our amazement we saw two cars and broken glass.

"The driver who actually hit the bus was in pure shock with red marks down his arm. The passenger of the car was struggling to breath as the airbag was deployed in this vehicle."
