A coach which crashed into a Plymouth post office caused traffic problems this morning.

A white Dartline single-decker coach was turning left onto Outland Road when it cornered and caught the edge of the Peverell Park Road post office roof.

Police were called to the scene at 9.35am today and blocked off the junction at Outland Road leading into Peverell Park Road and down Outland Road into the city.

Traffic was queuing back to Manadon flyover.

Two passenger windows on the coach were damaged and glass fell onto the pavement and road below.

Luckily the driver was the sole occupant on the bus and was not injured.

Police swept the glass off the road and reopened the junction at 10:37am.

"Luckily the driver was the sole occupant on the bus and was not injured." Yes, we keep hearing that passenger volumes are dropping.

When it says 'crashes into roof' I was imagining Dukes of Hazzard style driving
