'White tents' after bus crashes in Manchester Piccadilly Gardens

Paramedics are treating a 'number of casualties' after a bus crashed into a building in Manchester city centre.

A reporter at the scene said she witnessed emergency services escorting at least one person into a waiting ambulance on a stretcher. Others, it's understood, are also being helped to safety out of the building. North West Ambulance Service said at this stage he was not able to give an exact number of people who have been taken to hospital, but said 'a number of casualties' were being treated.

"There are road closures in the area whilst emergency services remain at the scene dealing with the collision and officers from GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit are in attendance. We would ask members of the public to avoid the area where possible whilst officers establish the full circumstances."
