A MAN has been reported for alleged road traffic offences after a double-decker bus crashed in Dalry this morning (Wednesday, January 4).
A video shared on social media shows the aftermath of the smash in the Breahead area of the town with a stationary and empty X36 bus parked up on the road and a trail of destruction behind it.
One Facebook user said a garden wall had been taken out along with a gate and bushes, as the vehicle narrowly missed a house.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 9.45am on Wednesday, January 4, police attended a one vehicle road crash involving a bus on Braehead, Dalry.
"A 51-year-old man is subject of a report to the procurator fiscal for road traffic offences."
