A WOMAN suffered minor injuries after a crash between a double decker bus and a car in Poole.

Emergency services were called to the scene, near to the Quay School, Herbert Avenue around 10am following the incident.

Initial reports suggested the woman in the blue Honda Jazz was trapped, prompting a call to Dorset Fire and Rescue.

But the casualty, who suffered cuts to her arm, managed to get out of the car.

She did not go to hospital.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said the bus was 'quite full', but no-one on board was injured.

Herbert Avenue was closed for a short time.

Recovery was organised for the car.
