Not sure who the bus belonged to but it's been reported only a driver was on board who escaped unhurt.

Look at how much the roof has bowed in that it is a seriously hot fire, are the enviros built from aluminium or steel? HMS Sheffield comes to mind

The road had to be resurfaced once the bus was removed.

It looks like the repair work wasn't a roaring success. Or, maybe it was. Thankfully no-one was harmed.
