Is it me, there seem to be a lot of accidents of late?!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Image from someone in a local Dudley group on Facebook. According to them, it just about missed a woman who was sat down there.
Someone else has said that the daughter of the driver commented elsewhere, that he had a fit at the wheel. (I'll remove that bit if any admins/family members don't want it shared.)

Edit: There's also a short video of the damage

Ah well in that case, can't be helped. Let's hope that the driver is ok?

To be honest, if a family member had publicly commented on the circumstances of the incident, then the info is fair game to be shared, irrespective whether its shared or not.

Thats my opinion.

But a family member can say anything, Tony has now confirmed the cause of the incident which I am more inclined to believe than anything else that has been said.

Saying that the health and welfare of the driver are most important in a situation like this whatever caused it.

Yeah, that's what I thought to, but I just wanted to make sure. I'll still happily take it down if it's not wanted, but I guess it's fair game to be shared if it was posted on a public group, and that the picture is in a public place.

The post from the family member mentioning what happened lines up with what Tony reported, in that he was taken ill. I'm just glad it wasn't busy at the time, and that it was an empty bus (I presume), I've had family members get injured in the past from bus crashes, so I've seen how bad it can be, and how stressful it is for the family.
