The bus driver was not injured in the collision, but the van driver was taken to hospital suffering head injuries.

They were mainly treated for cuts and bruises, while other passengers were believed to have suffered from whiplash."
*A replacement vehicle can usually be supplied within 4-6 working hours, where there is an admission of liability from the other person’s insurance company. If this person is not known, their insurance details are not known, they are uninsured or there is a potential dispute over who caused the accident, a replacement vehicle cannot be provided.
