The ground "shook" after an Arriva bus and a lorry crashed scattering glass and debris across the road.
Victoria Street in Liverpool city centre was temporarily closed following the crash at around 7.20am today, Thursday, April 27. Images taken by the ECHO at the scene showed extensive damage to the front of the bus - the 56 Arriva service to Netherton - with the front windscreen and door smashed in.
The glass from the bus, made primarily of fibreglass, had scattered across the road and pavement. The HGV, believed to have been delivering flowers to a nearby business, was not at the scene when the ECHO arrived shortly after 8am.
