Check the bus incidents thread out.
The same patter is in there, including theories about how and why it happened.
There was another thread created about this incident, but that was merged in to the bus incidents conversation.

Driver picked passenger up at the stop round the corner, pulled away and went round the corner, started doing that thing where they faff about with the money and started to drift to the left.
As the driver hit the verge and realised their mistake, they quickly spun the wheel right which made the front left wheel lose grip on the soft ground, and it slid down the hill and toppled.

Drivers being suspended (with pay) is normal after a collision. Not sure why it's being spun by the media, nor should it have been disclosed as it is encroaching on the driver's data protection rights.
Ben Maxfield, who appears to be performing a slimmed down MD role, should really know better when it comes to dealing with the press... especially after saying nobody was injured initially.

Not really an incident but an X1 broke down heading into Hetton-Le-Hole Interchange, it blocked the entire intersection.

Looks like the car hit the bus at some speed.

Ye, the car ran a red light and then the driver did a runner.

Barrack Row? There's often stuff going through that fence.
If it hasn't been done already, they can get the angle grinder to the rear where the fares are when they're on. Kill two birds with one stone

Just found a photo from the rear. Can see the tagline on full show.
Can't upload with this version of the forum unfortunately.
