Yet another bus fire, this time it's Stagecoach South's 18379 (MX55 KRN) who decided enough to go out in style.

1846 involved in a crash on Attlee Road. Looks like an idiot did not make proper observations when leaving the junction at Lilac Grove.

Usually not a bad area for drivers from experience on the main roads yes Atlee Road is usually tight so someone gives way for the bus or the bus gives way vice Versa, surprising really but yet again the standard of driving is going down these days

Serious looking incident ongoing on Northfield Road, Harborne, at the moment with a 23/24 branded bus on the 23 (6876 I think) either involved or caught up in what's happened.

The road has been blocked off by police and the bus has been there for over an hour with its hazard lights on. Numerous police vehicles in attendance and posts on Facebook suggest there are armed police at the scene.

EDIT - the posts about armed police are total bullshit apparently. I've been told it was a collision between the bus and a car.

Buses behind were diverting via Tennal Road and West Boulevard to California.
