Four ambulances, three fire engines and police attended the accident, north of Bilton.

An eyewitness said: "It is chaos. Police are everywhere."

The road was closed in both directions until around 5.30pm.

Police said the accident happened shortly before 2pm.

A silver Astra and a blue Land Rover were involved.

Three people who were on the bus are being treated for what are believed to be non life-threatening injuries.

Two people, who are thought to have been travelling in the Astra, are also receiving treatment for minor injuries.

Longdales Lane was also closed.

    “Sorry folks but it has to be done:

    There were fairies at the bottom of my garden
    And, while I'm not a man to raise a fuss
    I must tell you all how it really galls me
    To see them all get flattened by a bus.

    There was carnage midst the boggarts and the brownies
    While the leprechauns just managed to leap clear
    No wonder few come visiting our city
    When we treat them to such terror over here.

    The will o'wisps, the nickels and the hobbits
    Sat quivering in terror on the ground.
    It really traumatised the trolls from Longhill
    While the goblins, in sheer panic, ran around.

    The sight set all my banshees loudly wailing
    While the sirens stopped their singing in surprise
    The pixies and the sprites hid in the rhubarb
    And sat there with their hands across their eyes.

    So come all you folk that drive around this city
    And cut the poor old fairy folk some rope
    With goings on like this it's little wonder
    That the national elf is struggling to cope.

    Rambling Sid”

    “darren921

    You should find the tree that produces the oxygen that you breathe and apologise to it.

    Just hope it hasn't been knocked down by a bus.”

    “Nope Mattyono. I saw the accident it was in the opposite direction the bus was travelling towards Hull and was in a garden at the opposite side of the road (Opposite side to the golf course) the first house across the junction.”

    I was one of them and my neck/back/head hurts.

    (Delete whichever two gets the least compensation.)

    By midnight tonight, there will have been around 500 people on this bus.”

    ."yet ANOTHER accident involving a BUS. when are the police going to keep an eye on bus drivers
    Dear dear, another accident involving a Vauxhall and a Land Rover. They should be banned from the highways.
    Where you there?
    Did you see what happened?
    I suppose you are out in the snowy wilderness at this moment looking for kangaroos for your court are you.”
