A road that was closed after a double-decker bus roof was completely ripped off in a bridge crash has finally reopened a day later.
Barton Lane in Eccles was cordoned off by police shortly after 9pm on Monday night (April 10) after the crash. Dramatic pictures showed how the roof at the top of the bus had been sliced off, leaving the upper seats exposed.
The road remained closed throughout the night as the vehicle was moved away from beneath the Bridgewater Canal bridge, with the Ports Authority also called to assess the damage.
