A BUS driver is in a stable condition in hospital after his vehicle crashed into a ground floor flat.
Residents of the tenement building were evacuated as a precaution following the incident in Blackness Avenue, Dundee, on Saturday evening.
The sole passenger on the bus and the two occupants of the flat were not injured.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 11.20pm on Saturday October 7 2023, a bus crashed into a ground floor flat on Blackness Avenue, Dundee.
“The male driver of the bus was taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where he remains for treatment. Medical staff describe his condition as stable.
“There was one passenger on the bus, but he did not require hospital treatment.
“The two female occupants of the flat were not injured.
“The bus remains in situ and the block of flats has been evacuated.”
