A mum has spoken of the traumatic aftermath of a double-decker bus crash that hurt her two little children. Shanice Birtles, 26, said two-year-old Alfie, was left with bruises and Ava, just four months old, suffered scratches when the Stagecoach bus crashed into a gym on Friday evening.
Shanice got a frightening call to say her two children were on the bus which collided with a car and then ploughed into the building in School Street, Westhoughton, near Bolton. She told the Manchester Evening News that Alfie and Ava were on the bus back to their home with their aunt and grandmother at the time of the crash.
She said: "I got this terrifying call and was just told that 'the bus had crashed with my kids on it and that I needed to get down there now'. I didn't know what had happened so I got in a taxi straight away.
