In a shocking repeat incident, a double-decker bus has crashed into a low bridge in Manchester, tearing off its roof and causing significant damage. This comes just hours after another bus collision at the same location left 20 people injured.
The latest accident occurred on Tuesday, with eyewitnesses describing a scene of chaos as the top of the bus was completely sheared off by the impact. Emergency services rushed to the scene, though fortunately there were no reports of serious injuries in this second collision.
Safety Concerns Raised
Local authorities are facing growing pressure to address what appears to be a dangerous recurring problem. "This is the second time in one day - how many warnings do we need before something is done?" asked one frustrated resident.
Identical Incident Earlier in the Day
The earlier crash at the same bridge saw passengers injured when the bus roof was torn away. Transport officials had promised to review safety measures, but the second incident suggests immediate action may be needed.
- Two serious bus collisions at same location within hours
- Roof completely torn off in latest incident
- No serious injuries reported in second crash
- Growing calls for immediate safety review
Manchester City Council has announced an urgent investigation into both incidents, with particular focus on warning systems for drivers approaching low bridges.
