Had a drunk passenger tell me she was going to sue and that I need to be careful with brakes after she fell... when I took off from traffic lights! Thought she wasn't serious about it until the company called me for details about the incident because she tried to sue! Obviously she had zero leg to stand thanks to CCTV

Tiah Joy and a Coventry E400EV are currently stationary on Coventry Road as the entire road is closed, I believe the Coventry bus is involved as it's right up where the road is closed with several police vehicles, and is currently occupying two lanes.

If that's Coventry Road it is now closed further down due to an accident that has seen a police van on it's side outside the old Bill and Bull Pub

You believe wrong, Bus is not involved and carried on once the road was clear

I don't know that area that well but I have now looked and I have been past that on the coach from Brum to London Heathrow.

Not knowing what happen or passing blame 
The bus is pulling out of private property onto a main road  the bus driver still has to make sure of doing the manoeuvre it is safe to do so  only my opinion

Yeah from the images I have seen the bus was mid turn was half way into Lane 2 and the smart car was pinned between it and the railings separating the two carriageways hard to tell what has happened or who was at fault. As far as I've heard no one was injured that's the important thing
