Car smashes through bus shelter on Walsall Road
This was the scene on a main road in Willenhall after a car smashed through a bus shelter during rush hour this morning.
A woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries after the crash, which left the VW Polo and bus shelter badly damaged.
Shortly after 7am police were called to the incident on the B4464 Walsall Road in Willenhall, where the black hatchback had ended up in the side of the structure next to the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara.
Shattered glass covered the pavement and road around the structure, while the Polo was left with a smashed passenger seat window and crumpled bumper.
A 52-year-old woman managed to get out of the car herself and was checked over by paramedics who joined police officers and firefighters from Willenhall at the scene.
West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman Murray MacGregor said: "At 7.11am we were called to Walsall Road near the Sikh temple and McDonalds.
"The bus shelter had sustained significant damage."
"A 53-year-old woman who got out of the vehicle herself was complaining of chest and neck pain. She was immobilised and taken to Walsall Manor Hospital."
