A crane on the back of a lorry hit a city bus stop, leaving shards of glass scattered across the floor. The incident, reported in Mansfield Road on Monday (August 22), was said to have held up traffic for a period.
The crash happened opposite the old Clarendon College site and witnesses said the crash resulted in a "large advertising board crashing down". The lorry was said to have been reversing when the crane hit the bus shelter.
It comes with the major part of the demolition work underway on the former college site. Initial work had started last year under plans to transform the site into a new 1,200 secondary school called Bluecoat Trent. Nottingham College, which now has a new city hub in Canal Street, transferred ownership of the building to LocalED.

LocalED is an arms-length property company belonging to the Department for Education. More than £5 million in council grants will be used to transform the college building into a new secondary school amid rising pupil numbers in Nottingham. Back in May a fire ripped through the site of what remains of the old Clarendon College campus.
