A double-decker bus crashed into a newly-renovated two-story home in Ormesby St Margaret, Norfolk, on August 27, leaving a trail of debris and rubble. The incident occurred shortly after 10 a.m. when the bus, en route from a main road, turned too sharply and collided head-on with the property.
CCTV footage from a restaurant opposite the home captured the moment of impact, showing part of the house collapsing and a cloud of dust rising from the scene. Passengers on the bus were seen exiting the vehicle and receiving assistance from passing motorists.
Miraculously, no one on the bus or in the vicinity sustained any injuries. The home was believed to have been unoccupied at the time of the collision. Witnesses described the sound of the crash as similar to a bomb or a large explosion. Onlookers reported that there were approximately seven or eight passengers on the bus, including elderly individuals.
Norfolk Constabulary confirmed that there were no apparent injuries. The Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service responded to the scene at 10:17 a.m., dispatching crews from Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Carrow, and Dereham to secure the area. A spokesperson for First Bus confirmed the incident and stated that the company is cooperating with local emergency services to determine the next steps.
