Two cut free after car and bus crash

A yellow Vauxhall Corsa was travelling along Town Lane in Greasbrough shortly before 7.30pm on Sunday when it failed to negotiate a bend, went on to the wrong side of the road and hit a single-deck bus coming in the opposite direction.

Firefighters from Rotherham fire station and the technical rescue unit used cutting gear to help free the 32-year-old man and the little girl from the Corsa.

The driver suffered serious pelvic, face and leg injuries and is still recovering in Rotherham Hospital.

The girl suffered minor injuries to her back. She has since been released from hospital.

One of the five bus passengers, a 78-year-old man from Kimberworth Park in Rotherham, also suffered a slight leg injury.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: “Anyone who witnessed the collision or the manner of driving should call 0114 2202020.”
