Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

[Raawwwrrr!]

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
19458 MX58 VAY had an RTC colliding with a streetlamp on Dale Street, Northern Quarter at around 7pm.

The cause was thanks to an unprofessional private cab that attempted overtaking the bus in the adjacent lane without realising the traffic had stopped almost immediately in front of the bus, causing both cab and bus to brake sharply, and the bus swerving onto the pavement to avoid collision, and hitting the lamppost.
The private cab was undamaged however the front kerbside of the bus took the most damage with smashed windscreen, damaged light surround, mangled tree defender and heavily damaged doors.
