Emergency services quickly responded to the scene. While the collision caused significant disruption, early reports indicate that there are no serious injuries. Paramedics treated both the bus passengers and the occupants of the car at the scene, and all are expected to make a full recovery.
The crash damaged the scaffolding surrounding the new building under construction on Jeffery Street, raising concerns about the stability of the structure. Engineers have been called to the site to assess the damage and ensure the area remains safe.
