Manchester double-decker bus crash leaves 13 people injured

A crash between two double-decker buses close to a city centre has left 13 people needing hospital treatment.

Two Bee Network buses crashed on Rochdale Road off Livesey Street, Manchester, but no-one was seriously injured, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Images show debris strewn across the highway as one of the vehicles appeared to have hit the back of the other.

A GMP spokesman said the road remained shut while emergency services were at the scene.

Police were called to the incident at about 08:30 GMT.

Manchester councillor Pat Karney, who was at the site, posted on X to say there had been “unbelievable damage” to the front of the bus.
