I think it may have been in collision with a newish red Volkswagen Passat estate. Either way, the damage (to the bus) was minor with scuffing around the nearside headlamp surrounds and front wing.

The Bootle bus was 2924 (CX58 FZF) on 62-PENNY LANE, think the driver may have possibly been a witness. Thankfully nobody seemed to have been injured and the road was soon re-opened.

Mansfield Recovery took away the Passat, and Johnson's took away the Interurban Southport Pulsar with their maroon ERF B-series recovery truck (BHD 979V).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, I seen the red car, looked like something smaller than a passat but anyway don't matter. Looked like probably the car had pulled out in front of the bus. Certainly road was still shut at 5p.m as my 16.59 61 had to go Marsh Lane and Hawthorne Road, would say the incident occurred at around 15.30-16.00
