Given the attititude of some of the bus drivers we see on Peel St they will probably claim the bridge had no right to be there :)

Re: Bus trapped under bridge in Accrington

usually happens at the bottom of willows lane.A lad i worked with was sat up top deck and sat pooping his pants as the seats got crushed one row at a time coming towards him .

as work mates we were very sympathetic and bought him a double decker chocolate bar when he returned to work :)
