The pair were travelling in a yellow Mini Cooper when is was in collision with a First Bus at the junction of Duns Lane and St Augustine Road, near St Nicholas Circle and the Holiday Inn Hotel. Emergency services were called to the scene at 6.40pm, yesterday. A police spokeswoman said: "The collision involved a mini and a bus. "Two occupants of the car, a male and female, were taken by ambulance to the Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham, for treatment. "Their injuries are thought to be minor – certainly not life-threatening or life-changing." She added: "There were several passengers on the bus at the time of the incident, however, none of them were hurt." The crash caused significant congestion along the A47 for motorists travelling in and out of the city centre. However, the junction remained open and traffic was allowed to keep flowing. It is understood that First Bus sent another vehicle to pick up stranded passengers. Both vehicles were eventually cleared from the junction and traffic allowed to flow freely again by 9.15pm.

This is Leicestershire -- Three people were badly hurt in a crash involving a car and an ambulance. The police, fire brigade, a doctor and further paramedics were called to Belgrave Road, in Leicester, at just after 4.30pm yesterday. The casualties all had to be cut free from the wreckage of the car and were all taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary. A fire service spokesman said: "We got the call from the ambulance service who told us that one of their ambulances and a car was involved. "One of the casualties had to be removed from the car using a longboard because it was suspected they could have a spinal injury. "The last person was extricated at 5.37pm." A police spokeswoman said the collision occurred close to the Law Street junction. "The three casualties were taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary, however, their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening," she said. No-one travelling in the ambulance involved in the smash was injured. The ambulance service could not be contacted, so it is not clear if the vehicle was en-route to another emergency, taking a patient to hospital or returning to its base. Belgrave Road was shut between the Belgrave Flyover and Loughborough Road during the rescue operation. The Belgrave Gate roundabout was also closed county-bound, as was MacDonald Road and Law Street. With the closure of Belgrave Flyover for demolition this weekend already causing congestion in the area, the accident caused severe tailbacks. The roads were not fully reopened until both vehicles had been removed, accident investigators completed their examination of the scene and 'street furniture' such as lampposts and signs damaged in the crash made safe – at 6.46pm.

This is Staffordshire --
This is Exeter -- EXETER pensioners Maureen and Dave Rimmer have expressed heartfelt thanks to everyone who came to the rescue when their car plunged down a cliff. Mr Rimmer, 70, is now recovering at home in Beacon Heath after being freed from his wrecked BMW and airlifted to hospital. Police, firefighters, coastguards, paramedics and the air ambulance rushed to the scene at the Mount Pleasant Inn, Dawlish Warren, just after 2.30pm on Sunday, February 2. Pub customers rushed to Mr Rimmer's aid before the emergency services arrived. "I just thought he was dead – it was horrendous," said Mrs Rimmer, 69. "Because I feared the worst I couldn't go down right away, but two of the lads who had gone down came back up and told me he was talking and was all right. "A lot of young people get a bad press but they were absolutely amazing. "I just want to thank all the people who came to help Dave, including the fire service, coastguard and ambulance crews – they were just amazing." Mr Rimmer, a former AA patrolman, who previously ran Brookside News and the Candy Shop in Exeter with his wife until the shops closed, suffered a bad cut on his chin and severe bruising but escaped more serious injury and was discharged from hospital on Monday afternoon. "He is just so angry with himself about this stupid thing that happened," said Mrs Rimmer. "He hurts everywhere but he's got away without a broken bone. At the hospital they said he was the luckiest man in the world." Explaining how the incident happened, Mrs Rimmer, who was waiting at the front of the pub at the time, said her husband was reversing in the car park when he thought he had hit something. He took off his seatbelt and was getting out of the car to investigate when he accidentally hit the accelerator, causing the car to reverse at speed, crash through a fence and plunge about 50 metres down the embankment. "I heard this crash and thought he had hit a car in the car park, but when I went round there to look the fence was down so I went running back into the pub," she said. "All these people had seen what happened and there was panic as they were rushing out to get to him.
