A Guernsey woman moved bus seats seconds before the window next to her smashed.
Lena Collinson told Express the 81 bus scraped a wall at about 10:10 on Monday morning, smashing several windows, after it mounted a pavement to avoid a parked car.
She said the bus – which was on a diversion – “tried not to hit the car and ended up getting badly damaged” when it tried to navigate the “very narrow turn” between St Stephen’s Hill and De Beauvoir, in St Peter Port.
A spokesperson for Stagecoach said the company was “aware that three windows were damaged during the incident, and we are relieved that no injuries have been reported”.
“The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently being reviewed as part of an internal investigation,” they added.
Mrs Collinson said she and her husband “immediately got up and crossed to the other side [of the bus]” as it started turning, as she could tell things would be “crowded”.
“I understood that it was impossible to get through this turn and started filming, anticipating a tragedy.”
“It was simply impossible for a bus to get through [with the car there],” she added.
