Bus involved in Berkeley Circle crash

A BUS has lost its windscreen after colliding with a road sign on Berkeley Circle in Scunthorpe.

The incident, which involved a Hornsby Travel single decker bus, a Citroen C4 and a Nissan Micra, took place shortly before noon today.

Two drivers and a passenger have been taken to Scunthorpe General Hospital suffering from minor injuries and shock.

A Humberside Police spokesman said: "The bus was coming from Doncaster Road continuing towards Tesco. "There has been an incident with another vehicle which has caused the bus to be mounted on the central island off one of the exits and it crossed onto the other side of the road before returning back.

"Two drivers and one passenger have been taken to Scunthorpe General Hospital suffering from minor injuries and shock."

It is believed 12 to 15 passengers were travelling on the bus but there have been no serious injuries.

Eye witness Chloe Dyer, 20, of Brigg said: "The bus has lost its windscreen and there is no front on the bus.

"The bus has taken the road traffic sign down trying to avoid going into the back of the Citroen."

Traffic in the area is slow but free flowing.

Humberside Police are appealing for witnesses on 0845 60 60 222.
