Bus passengers injured in Gloucester

The bus driver was forced to do an emergency stop after an incident involving a white Mercedes A Class.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to a road traffic incident involving a bus and a car in Gloucester earlier this month.

Police were called shortly after 2.20pm on Tuesday, February 13, following a report that passengers on a bus had been injured after the driver had been forced to do an emergency stop.

It is reported that the driver of a white Mercedes A Class was waiting at the traffic lights on Priory Road when the bus approached in the next lane.

When the lights turned green, it is believed the driver of the Mercedes deliberately cut in front of the bus and braked hard, forcing the bus driver to also hit the brakes.

Four passengers inside the bus were subsequently injured, with one woman requiring hospital treatment for an injury to her knee and a cut to her hand.

Enquiries are ongoing and anyone who may have seen what happened and has not yet spoken to police is being urged to get in touch.

Officers would also like to hear from anyone who may have mobile phone or dashcam footage of the collision.

Information can be provided by completing the online form and quoting incident of 224 of February 13.
