Apparently the Bus hit a pedestrian let's hope all are ok
Brum Mail now saying the Diamond bus hit another bus, it looks like there is an NX X21 X22 Branded bus in one image that may have been involved, it is saying 2 bus drivers so the Diamond and the other bus driver were injured, a passenger on the other bus and a Pedestrian were hurt. No passengers were on board the Diamond Bus and it's driver suffered minor injuries. If the NX bus in one of the photos was involved there didn't seem to be much damage to the side or what you can see of the front.

you say there's no damage to the side? You cannot see the side due to the person stood in front and the bush, yes there is quite extensive damage to the side

I could see the Fleet Number but not properly I couldn't really see the whole side. But OK I didn't know if the Platty was involved but it does make sense now that it was as there was no other Buses pictured behind it or near it that could have been involved.

SC bus had an incident on the A46 in Warwickshire.
Looks like it has done some field ploughing?
Except for the photo there is not much detail in the paper.

This was Leamington's 27213 working a Warwick University bound U1 which somehow 'missed' the off slip to Stoneleigh Junction.

Could have been nasty if it came down the embankment! Hope all on board were OK.

Stagecoach bus leaves the road and ploughs into a garden after the driver suffered a medical episode at the wheel. Happened in Quedgley, Gloucester. Thankfully no passengers injured and driver taken to hospital. All the best to him!

Stagecoach London LT255 was involved in an incident on New Oxford Street this morning when it crashed into a pub. A couple of people including I assume the driver were injured though not seriously. 
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.
