A hedgetrimmer has sliced open the top of a double decker bus in Essex injuring four children in what emergency crews called a "scary looking scene."
The East of England Ambulance Service said the injuries sustained in the incident, which happened in Alresford Road in Wyvenhoe, were only slight, but added that the 45 children on board looked "shocked and confused."
