On a chilly Christmas Eve at 8pm, tragedy struck on the outskirts of Bournemouth. A young girl was seriously injured when a car collided with a bus outside a BP garage. The incident, which occurred on the quiet streets of Dorset, sent shockwaves through the community.
According to witnesses, a blue Skoda Octavia was speeding and crashed into the right-hand side of a double-decker bus. The driver of the Skoda, reported to be a male, fled the scene, leaving behind a young passenger trapped in the vehicle as the engine caught fire. Fortunately, two passers-by came to the rescue and pulled the passenger from the wreckage. The injured girl was then rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, but her condition remains unknown. It is also believed that three other bus passengers were injured in the collision.
The aftermath of the crash was chaotic, with a shattered window from the bus lying at the scene as police worked to piece together what had happened. The Skoda, on the other hand, was completely destroyed.
Eyewitnesses reported that up to 12 ambulances and multiple police cars arrived at the scene to assist. Among the first to offer their help was local resident, Gemma Milne. In an interview, she recalled her experience, saying, "I was one of the first on the scene and stopped to help. The young girl who was a passenger was in a bad way, so I'm praying for her full recovery. Two amazing men pulled her free from the car as it was smoking and leaking fuel. The driver fled the scene."
As news of the crash spread, more details emerged. It was discovered that several other people were also injured in the incident and were taken to the hospital for treatment. One person shared on social media that their sister was on the bus and is currently in the emergency room being checked out. They also revealed that the car had been speeding and crashed into the bus, injuring two other passengers.
The local authorities, including the Dorset Police and the South West Ambulance Service, have been contacted for further information.
