A bus has crashed into the garden of an Arbroath house.
The incident happened around 9am on the town’s Westway and involved a single decker Strathtay coach and a double glazing van.
There were no passengers on the coach at the time, but the female driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries after being cut free by firefighters.
The bus was involved in a collision with the black van before crashing through the fence of a house in Scott Gardens.
Householder Alison McLeod, 65, was out walking her three dogs when the accident happened.
She returned home to find the bus in her garden and an emergency operation under way to free the driver.
She said: “Wood and shrubs can be replaced – I’m just glad nobody was seriously hurt.
“If the bus had kept going into my wall she could have been killed.
“If it had happened 10 minutes earlier there would have been kids walking to school.”
One of the two occupants of the van was treated at the scene by paramedics for back pain but did not require to be taken to hospital.
There was also drama further up the road once the accident happened when a lorry performed a three-point turn and completely destroyed a bus shelter.
A section of the Westway remains closed.
