Two fire crews, from York and Acomb, attended. They said a man was unable to get out of the car. They used “crew power” to lift him out.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “No serious injuries occurred but crews did administer oxygen to four casualties including two elderly bus passengers and two children bus passengers.”

For a while, Jockey Lane was closed by the crash. First York number 9 park and ride buses couldn’t reach the Monks Cross shopping centre.

The road has now been cleared.
