A terrified mother says her son is 'having nightmares' after being left covered in bruises from a bus crash. The 26-year-old mother's two children were on the double-decker Stagecoach bus that crashed in Westhoughton on Friday, causing extensive wreckage.
One person was taken to hospital after the bus ploughed into a gym in School Street at around 6.40pm on June 10. Pictures from the scene revealed the damaged caused to the building, while footage on social media shows the bus speeding by a line of traffic before crashing into a car at a junction and then ploughing into the building.
Mum Shanice Birtles, who lives in Westhoughton, told the Manchester Evening News that she was among those who received a frightening call telling her that her two children, aged just two years and four months old, were on the bus at the time of the smash.
