Editor’s note: A previous version of this story said the collision involved coach, rather than a bus, and that two people in it suffered minor injuries. This was based on a statement provided to us by police which said this. We are happy to clarify that the injuries sustained by the bus driver and a passenger were not minor and apologise for any upset caused.
