Bus passengers were left in shock as two patients were taken to hospital after a car crashed into a Salford bus stop this morning.
The car crashed into the bus stop on Tootal Drive, by Eccles Old Road, with one eye-witness saying he heard a “bang and a crash.”
The passenger saw a Mercedes lodged into several bins at the side of the road by the bus stop.
The crash caused significant damage with window glass scattered across the ground.
Police cordoned off the area, while emergency services dealt with the injured people.
A spokesperson from the North West Ambulance Service said: “Two patients were taken to hospital following an RTC. We received a call an 9.18am.”
The incident occurred as passengers were getting off the bus.
The car mounted the pavement, smashing the bus window and shattering passengers with glass.
It then crashed into the bus shelter, leaving passengers screaming while trying to get off the bus.
The bus stop was crumpled inwards.
The car was eventually removed, and placed onto the back of a recovery truck. The road re-opened shortly after and all bus routes were back to normal.
