The driver of a double-decker bus that crashed into a bridge in Manchester, injuring 20 people, has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving.

On Monday, the bus collided with the Bridgewater Canal Aqueduct on Barton Lane in Eccles, Greater Manchester.

A passenger was ejected from the top deck of the bus during the incident, which also tore off the top level of the vehicle.

Greater Manchester Police said in a statement that the driver, a man in his 50s, has since been bailed pending further investigations.

It added that three people - a 19-year-old female and two men, aged 20 and 40 - who sustained serious injuries remain in hospital in a stable condition.

Seventeen others were treated at the scene for injuries.

Clearance height was low. Bus driver had no idea and wasn’t smart enough to slow down and look up.

The driver’s identity has not been publicly disclosed in any of the available reports. Police noted the bus had deviated from its usual route and failed to heed height restriction warnings, including signage and hanging chains.

Ahmed drove the infidels under the low bridge to decapitate them for islam. "I only got a few infidels but every bit helps" said Ahmed when questioned
