Horror bus crash leaves 17 in hospital after two double-deckers smash into each other

Seventeen people have been rushed to hospital after two double-decker buses smashed into each other in Manchester this morning.

One person was left trapped on the upper deck and had to be rescued by fire crews following the crash on Rochdale Road, north of the city centre, at around 8.34am.

Photos posted on social media showed extensive damage to the front of one of the buses with the windscreen and front panels smashed in.

Nine ambulances, an air ambulance, two response vehicles, an advanced paramedic and an operational commander rushed to the scene, North West Ambulance Service said.

No one suffered serious injuries, but 17 passengers were taken to hospitals across Manchester, including seven on a bus accompanied by a paramedic.

One Bee Network bus was virtually destroyed in the incident, with the windows missing and the display panel smashed.

The back of another bus had also been damaged, with eyewitnesses telling the Manchester Evening News that one bus had ‘gone into’ another, while another bus had ‘gone through a metal fence’.

There has been severe disruption in the area, with the whole of Rochdale Road blocked by the incident and debris strewn across the road.

Members of the public have been advised to avoid the area and motorists should make alternative travel arrangements where possible.
