An Auckland Transport bus carrying four passengers has crashed into a yard in south Auckland’s Māngere East this afternoon - narrowly missing a house.
Video obtained by the Herald shows a resident’s fence completely smashed and the bus in their yard.
A police spokesperson confirmed they received a report of the crash in Rye Court just after 3.30pm.
“There were four people on board, including the driver, and no one was injured,” police said.
The bus looks to have missed the house completely, but debris from the fence is scattered throughout the property.
Two police vehicles and two Hato Hone St John vehicles can be seen attending the incident.
An Auckland Transport spokesperson said the three passengers on board the bus were school children and were thankfully not injured.
They said the crash was a result of a “driver error” at a roundabout by the bus driver.
“We will be working with the bus company to ensure the incident is fully investigated and will fully support their decision if further action is to be taken against the driver,” they said.
The 19-year-old disappeared without her wallet or mobile phone.
