Two people on the bus and a woman and a young girl from the car were treated by ambulance crews and taken to hospital.

The driver of the bus, along with two other passengers, were checked by paramedics but didn't require treatment following the crash at around 3.55pm on Saturday.

"The man was treated for lower back and leg pain whilst the woman, who had pain relief administered, was treated for arm and leg injuries.

"They were then both transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

"There were two more patients from the car, a woman in her 30s and a young girl, believed to be ten-years-old.

"Both were treated for minor injuries and the effects of shock before being taken to City Hospital for further assessment."
