A tree came crashing down onto the roof of bus heading to Wolverhampton today, causing part of the roof to cave in.
The 126 bus was on the A456 Hagley Road in Birmingham heading towards Wolverhampton when the 80ft tree fell into the road and smashed through its roof.

National Express spokesman Jack Kelly said: "This was a large tree that fell into the road directly onto the top of the 126 bus.
"There were a number of passengers on board. Thankfully it looks as though no one has been injured.
"The driver was shaken up and is getting support for shock. The damage to the vehicle is quite substantial. At this point we don't know what caused the tree to come down."
