Roof sheared off double-decker bus as horror smash puts eight in hospital Eight people were hospitalised after a bus smashed into a railway bridge shearing off the double-decker's entire roof.
Shocked locals rushed to help and horror images from the scene show the top of the Stagecoach bus completely sheared off, lying in the middle of the road, while the roofless vehicle is seen on the other side of the bridge.
A teenager told BBC Scotland: "We were supposed to take a right, but the bus driver took a completely different route and went under the railway bridge, which we're not supposed to do.
People expressed their shock at the scene, with one witness describing hearing an "almighty bang" as the bus ploughed through the tunnel beneath the bridge.
Ronnie Smith, 51, a warehouse worker, told the Daily Record: "I walked under the bridge during my dog walk and we had just entered a nearby park when I heard an almighty bang.
