A police car on an emergency callout smashed into a double decker bus on Monday afternoon, leaving an officer in hospital with minor injuries. The incident, which onlookers described as 'horrible', saw the cop car and double decker bus collide head-on on Fernclough Road, Harpurhey, on Monday (May 30).
Police quickly closed off the road in both directions following the smash shortly after 3pm, with drivers and other popular bus services being diverted. Dramatic videos in the immediate aftermath show the police car visibly damaged at the front, with clouds of smoke also seen coming from the vehicles.
It was later confirmed that there were no major injuries reported, but that a female officer from the car had been taken to hospital with minor injuries. Nine people were also assessed by paramedics at the scene.
