Eyewitness said he heard a loud crack before seeing the bus swerve onto the pavement
Bus company Arriva has released an update after a terrifying crash that saw a bus swerve onto a pavement and smash into a car and lampposts.
One man, who lives close to the crash site and asked not to be named, told the ECHO: "I heard a loud crack, which I think was the tyre hitting the kerb. Then I looked out of my window and saw this bus sailing past on the pavement. It must have travelled for 60-80 feet on the pavement.MORE: Live updates as Cunard Queen Anne event with Andrea Bocelli performance takes place in Liverpool
The witness said the crash happened as the bus turned from Guildford Road into Carr Lane. After smashing into a parked car and taking out one lamp post, the bus came to a halt as it hit a second lamp post. Images show the front of the vehicle crushed against the post, with liquid spilling out. He added: "Carr Lane is packed usually with children either from the local schools or those using the playing fields. That junction is renowned for accidents. As a local resident I really fear for my family's safety.
