Chelmsford bus company Regal Busways has opened an investigation after one of its double decker buses collided into a railway bridge during rush hour yesterday.
At about 4.30pm, the route three service, from Southend, attempted to travel under the bridge beside Chelmsford railway station.
The roof was shredded off, falling on to the road below. Nobody was injured, but passengers included a 16-year-old who escaped from the top deck just in time.
The driver was admitted to hospital suffering from shock, but has since been released and is not driving.
A Regal Busways spokesperson said: "We are investigating with him and he is not currently driving".
