TWO women were injured in a crash between a bus and a car near Cemetery Junction today.

A dark blue Nissan Note heading along Wimborne Road towards the Talbot Road roundabout collided with a No.6 single-decker Yellow Bus travelling in the bus lane at around 2.55pm.

Both injured parties, the car driver and a passenger on the bus, were taken to hospital as a precaution with what were believed to be minor injuries, although the latter was strapped to a spinal board after complaining of neck pain.

PC Mark Palmer said: “We don't believe there were any serious injuries in this collision, in which for some unknown reason a vehicle collided with a bus travelling in the bus lane.

“The circumstances are under investigation at this time.”

With the crash and emergency operations confined to the bus lane there was little added congestion on nearby roads.
