A double-decker bus has smashed into a house in a quiet English village as residents were left horrified by the collision.

Police rushed to West Road in Ormesby St Margaret, near Great Yarmouth, at 10.12am this morning following reports of a road incident.

Firefighters from Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Carrow and Dereham also attended the scene.

No one was injured in the crash, but a period property, which its owners had been renovating for the past six years, was significantly damaged.

A neighbour told ITV the crash sounded like a "bomb going off".

Kevin Griffin, 64, said: "I was coming out of my front door of my house here, and I just glanced to my side, and then there was a bus coming towards my house.

"Then I saw a big cloud of dust. It sounded like an explosion. It sounded like a bomb going off, and there was dust everywhere, and I just ran through my gate to my bus.

"I got onto the bus, then I was helping people get off the bus. It was upsetting."

It is understood there was seven or eight passengers on the bus when it crashed.

Tony Bushkes, who lives in the area, said the sound of the bus crashing into the house was "shocking".

He recalled how the sounds was very loud, grabbing his camera and heading to the scene as soon as it happened.

West Road remains closed as the emergency services continue the clear-up effort.

The house the bus crashed into has partially collapsed, with its interior completely exposed.

A spokesman for First Bus said: "We can confirm one of our buses has been involved in a collision with a building in Ormesby St Margaret in Norfolk.

"There are currently no reports of any injuries among members of the public, our staff or passengers and we are working closely with the local emergency services to agree next steps."
