A driver has divided opinion over who was to blame after she was in collision with a National Express coach near Heathrow Airport.
The car was travelling in the outside lanes on the road heading to Terminal 5.
The white single decker coach was in the left lane as both vehicles approached the roundabout near the Short Stay Car Park entrance.

But they collided as they went around it.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
The driver claimed: “National Express crashed into me.”
The coach company has launched an investigation into it.
It happened on the slipway of the M25.
But fellow drivers were split on who was at fault, as reported on Need To Know.
Keith Duffy said: “You should not have gone up the inside.
“You can see the line the coach took and the chevrons on the left of the coach would have dictated his line.”
Tim Wild added: “Never become the meat in a sandwich and always give larger vehicles more room to manoeuvre.”
Gary Turner said: “It’s easy Give large vehicles room.”
Yet George Gwilliam (corr) added: As someone who drives buses and lorry for a living, that bus absolutely didn’t need to come into the lane.
“The car should’ve given more room but that doesn’t equal blame, 100% National Express fault.”
One coach driver – called Sean – said: “I’m a coach driver myself.
“Although you shouldn’t have gone on the inside of the vehicle and tri axles need that bit of extra room, he did look like he had a lot of space on the left.”
Another added: “50/50 definitely. I work in the insurance industry.”
A National Express spokesperson said: “We can confirm there was an incident on the Heathrow Terminal 5 roundabout at around 5:10am on 2 February.
“Where the tail end of our coach collided with a third party vehicle.
“There were no reported injuries by any of the occupants of either vehicle and the matter is being investigated internally.”
