X1(E062) Involved in an RTC on Small Heath Bypass near Asda outbound. Fair bit of frontal damage.

I was notified that a bus crashed today anyone know what bus this was, was it an NX vehicle or another operator

@Dababa015 - Post your question in the thread I've moved it too, rather than NX withdrawn vehicles thread, especially when you don't even know any details, Winston

There were at least two/three cars damaged when I passed it.

Just seen the video of this, obviously won't post it on here.  Queueing traffic on the inside and middle lanes of the A45 to the island. The bus lane which is the outside lane is clear, bus doing upto the speed limit, a car then decides to venture into the bus lane right in front of the bus, bus driver has no chance to brake.

I really hope nobody is seriously injured, but honestly nothing surprises me about the standard of driving not just in Birmingham but Small Heath in particular. Gotta be thousands without valid licences or disqualified, as there's no driving schools that would teach the standard of driving round there.

Seen the video as well. Shocking. In the event the driver doesn't have insurance, presumably the Motor Insurers Bureau cover the bus repairs?

If they're like where I once lived, they've won driving licences as Christmas Cracker prizes......
