The impact destroyed the front end of the of the small silver vehicle and scattered debris 40 metres across Mont Pinel.

Watch commander Paul McGrath, from the Fire and Rescue Service, said the car’s 27-year-old driver suffered cuts to his hands and was transferred to hospital.

He was treated in the accident and emergency department and has now been released.

The 58-year-old bus driver was not taken to hospital. There were no passengers on the bus at the time.

Two fire engines attended the scene at 7.08 pm, to find one of the vehicles leaking fuel onto the road.

Firefighters disconnected the battery to prevent a fire and laid soil and absorbent mats in the road to stop the fuel spreading.
