People living in a house in Bingley had a bit of a suprise this morning (Sunday 3rd January) when they found a bus in their front garden.

Bus crash in Bingley

It's believed the vechicle lost control coming down the very steep hill in icy conditions and ended-up crashing through the fence - stopping just a couple of metres before it smashed into the building.

Nobody's been seriously hurt, it's understood.

The single decker was pulled out of the garden by a crane on a truck.

Eyewitnesses say another two similar accidents happened on the same stretch of road within hours - one at the precise same spot where a car ended up underneath the trapped bus - the second slightly further up Ferncliffe Road, where a car went down another embankment and actually hit a house.

All of the incidents were caught on camera by local drone enthusiast Adam Richardson who runs the Facebook group: Bingley From Above.
