4135 collision

[SEVERNLINK]

Hi Newbie here from Worcestershire and sorry that my first post is to report a collision of a NXWM bus.
Was in Dudley earlier about 11am and heard a blast on a horn followed by a loud bang I turned into a side street and saw a bus had collided with an mpv.

Not sure what exactly happened but bits of the front of the bus on the road and a mpv with a damaged drivers door. Not many people on scene and bus looked empty so don't think many on it and hopefully no serious injuries,all though driver of mpv was still in vehicle and being attended to by passers by and bus driver.

Location was on King street heading out of town at the junction with Vicar Street forgot see which service it was on.

Welcome SEVERNLINK.

To be honest i think they should withdraw 4135, the bus is jinxed!

Thanks Stu
4135 got history then?
I only saw the bus from the side as I walked down the road so didn't see how bad the damage was but could see bits of bumper on the road.

@SEVERNLINK I think it may have, from a pure guess, been on the 246?

Makes a difference for it to be on the road

It could have been it's first day back out, as I'm sure it was parked up in the depot Thurs morning

@Andrew it has been out a a few times this week. I saw it in merry hill yesterday evening. I think it came off a 141.

How long was it off the road for awaiting its new engine? Plus before that it went to WA for repaint.

I bet its not seen proper service for 2/3 months.

Yes, it was on the 141 yesterday. I was somewhat surprised to see it out.

Walked past the scene about 40 mins after the incident 4135 had gone but mpv and cop cars still there.
