“It wasn’t the driver’s fault.

“The bus was sent on a completely inappropriate diversion to avoid roadworks.

“It scraped along the wall trying to avoid a parked car and was badly damaged on the left side.

“Passengers switched seats because they saw it could happen.

“So thankfully nobody was injured.”

The incident took place on Monday 26 January.

Bus operator Stagecoach said three windows were damaged on the bus in the St Stephen’s Hill area of St Peter Port.

The company also said it is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the incident as part of an internal investigation.
