Moment bus gets stranded on grass verge in Sheffield with smoke billowing from exhaust
This is the moment a bus got stranded on a grass verge in Sheffield with smoke pluming from its exhaust pipe.
The No 86 Stagecoach from Chapeltown to Lowedges got in some trouble at around 6.25pm last night (January 25) after seemingly diverting down Abbey Lane, a road it normally does not travel down.
A resident’s video showed how the bus appeared to attempt a right turn off Abbey Lane onto a residential lane, close to the junction of Beauchief Abbey Lane, possibly to return to its route at the roundabout with Hutcliffe Wood Road.
However, the bus became caught on a grass verge, where the rear-wheel-drive vehicle could not gain purchase.
Two police officers arrived to assist.
When the driver tried to accelerate, white smoke billowed out of the bus’ exhaust pipe to no avail.
A bus engineer arrived and steered the bus back onto Abbey Lane. A resident said the bus was able to drive away after some checks.
