Double decker bus and taxi crash on major city centre road

A double decker bus and taxi were involved in a crash which brought disruption to a major city centre road.

Merseyside Police were called to the junction of Pembroke Street and Anson Street on London Road at around 1.30pm on Saturday 18 March, following reports of the two vehicles colliding. Police confirmed to the ECHO that a bus and what appeared to be a Hackney-style cab were involved in a road traffic collision.

Minor injuries were sustained in the incident with ambulance vehicles and paramedics also in attendance. Pictures show damage to the passenger doors of the Arriva 10A bus with significant damage also caused on the front right hand side of the taxi.

The taxi could be seen in a static position up against bollards outside of a nearby corner shop following the crash. The double decker bus was city centre bound heading to the Liverpool ONE bus station.

London Road is one of the main arterial routes into Liverpool City Centre with Police confirming that traffic was building up as a result of the collisions. Officers and ambulance staff remained at the scene as the road was cleared.
