A fire which ripped through a Nottinghamshire bus has been described as looking like a "bonfire" by eyewitnesses. The bus caught fire in Osier Drive, near the Sherwood Business Park in Annesley, this morning (December 9).
The driver of the trentbarton bus had to evacuate passengers from the threes service, including two young children, before the blaze took hold. Flames and thick plumes of smoke billowed from the bus - which was left burnt out by the roadside.
Emma Banks, 42, a quantity surveyor at the nearby Galliford Try office which took in the cold passengers, described the dramatic scene and aftermath of the fire. "Someone came into the office and said there was a bus fire, and I was like 'really?'," she said.
