Didn't see the fleet number, but it looked like a crimson Trident on a Birmingham-bound 73 has been involved in a collision on Bordesley Circus, looks like a car has gone into the back of it.
Saw it about 5:40pm while on the X2 heading home, so no idea what time it happened.

Something strange here
There is a 73 due at Bordesley Circus at 17:20 which was crimson 4611 there at 17:25
There is a 73 due at Bordesley Circus at 18:02 which was red/white 4606 there spot on time!

I definitely saw it, pulled over on the crossed lines between the Bordesley Middleway entrance/exits, and it had 'Birmingham 73' on the display. As I said, I have no idea how long it had been there, and there was a car pulled up right behind also.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Was there a PN bus involved in an accident yesterday? Overheard a car went into the side of a vehicle.

My partner was trying to work out how much wind would be required to blow a double decker over. There must be something to weight the bus down in between the floors

That looks hilarious. Shame it couldn't tumble down all the Presidents parked at Miller Street or wherever they are

The picture of the bus on its side looks hilarious

AG 4641 had somehow smashed the back window of Diamond 32309 in Solihull this morning. It looked as though the wing mirror had been involved.

No-one was hurt.  Actually, it does look rather funny.

11 people were hurt, somehow I don't think you would find it funny if you were on a bus that fell on its side.

I do not see how anyone can find such a serious accident funny.

I don't find it funny either, my thoughts go to there families. It looks like it will cost the company a good bill to get the bus fixed.
