Two double-decker buses were left wrecked in the collision on Rochdale Road
Stunned passengers feared "a bomb had gone off" while one was left covered in blood after a crash involving two double-decker buses.
"It hit us with some force," he recalled. "It knocked us off the road. It all happened so fast, there was no warning. Stunned passengers desperately tried to get off the bus in the aftermath of the crash but found the aisle blocked by the injured woman, Mr Mansbridge said. He then opened the fire exit at the back of the bus before jumping off and helping other passengers to disembark.
At least 17 people were injured and taken to hospital. None of their injuries are believed to be serious, according to Greater Manchester Police .
