How does a car crash even manage to end up looking like this?

There is a simple answer. Look closely at the photo, there is a dog driving the bus.

As it was the Argus reporting it, they're probably cut out pictures from some library book about vehicles, stuck them on a photo of that road and printed it to create as much panic as possible.

Ben, if you told the Argus about the dog driving, they'd probably print it.

It was the wrong side of the road for the prison.

There was a badly crumpled red car between the bus and the wall (you can see part of it in the photo). Amazing that no serious injuries reported

Where is that exactly? Is it between Western Road and De Montfort, with the prison on the left? In that case why is the bus pointing in the wrong direction?

It is between the Prison Crossroads and Spital Road. The Prison is actually on the right.

I did see it (after). Bus was headed South, the car North. Bus was 1/2 in Northbound lane.
My only guess, and it is a guess; is that the bus went to pass something and hit a northbound car.
I am glad there were no serious injuries,

That looks like Malling Street in the photo, to me anyway.

The accident is in Nevill Road, and the bus is facing north on the southbound side of the road. The prison wall is on the right, by the open door of the fire engine. But why was it necessary to close the A277 Brighton Road?

I went past it on the way from Nevill to Brighton while all the emergency services were still there and it was only the section from the crossroads to Spital Road that was closed. Barely held me up at all.
