One passenger said it was lucky he was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

He said: “I’m fine, but if I hadn’t been wearing my seatbelt goodness knows what would have happened?”

Another passenger reported that he was bruised but otherwise ok.

He told The Courier: “It could have been a lot worse.”

It’s unclear if anyone has been injured in the crash.
