A bus crashed into a house in Bristol last night (December 15), with a passenger needing hospital treatment. A car collided with the double-decker bus, causing it to hit a property in Highbridge Road, in Bishopsworth, at around 9.50pm.
The driver of the VW Golf fled the scene on foot before police officers arrived. One female passenger from the number 75 bus was taken to hospital.
The homeowners were unharmed in the incident and are being supported by officers. Avon and Somerset Police say there are no known life-threatening or changing injuries.
