Edinburgh coach hits SUV and gets wedged on tight Old Town road

Edinburgh city centre streets can be notoriously difficult to navigate with their tight bends and cobbled streets.

This led to one coach driver seeming to get themselves into a spot of bother as they tried to turn a corner whilst vehicles were parked to their rear.

In a video shared with Edinburgh Live , Lenovo Riain captures an AAA coach late last night on Guthrie Street struggling to get round a corner.

They have several attempts at reversing to try to creep round the corner as the coach narrowly avoids a white mini.

The driver of the large coach then has another go at it but gets themselves into a sticky situation and can be heard scraping against the front of an SUV on the road.

The big vehicle seems to be stunned by the collision that was caused by them trying to turn the narrow street corner.

Unfortunately the driver appears to get wedged on the corner of the brick block of flats and the SUV as stunned pedestrians look on in horror as the bus gets stuck.

During the incident, both pedestrians and other road users try to get by the coach which seems to cause a jam on the Old Town road.

AAA responded: "No comment."
