The bus collided with the row of buildings on Main Street in Airth, near Falkirk, at around 5.40pm on Monday, June 24. A picture from the scene shows the extent of the damage caused by the collision.




Police have since opened an investigation after a huge hole was left in the building where the large vehicle struck the front of the property, reports the Record.
