Bus crashes into Coventry city centre pawnbrokers shop (1 Viewer)

[SkyBlue_Am]

My facebook has been filled of my friends taking pictures of this bus half in a building so thought I might as well share it on here as well. I'm in Manchester so haven't seen it myself but from the pictures it does look pretty bad. Amazing there were so few injuries!

I understand the bus driver did tell his passengers that he just wanted to pop into the shops.

Shop was also looted during these events. Some sick bastards in this world!

He complained of chest pains so most probably a heart attack.

 

[Otis]

Hope he's okay. Lucky no-one got more badly injured.

It was my day off from filming buses in case they crash today!

Some people were saying there was looting.

Looking at that footage I'd like to know how they got past that bus to actually get inside the shop.
