A van has crashed into the guided bus in Cambridgeshire after apparently "jumping a red light".

Cambridgeshire Police said they were called just before 06:55 BST to reports of a collision at the guided bus park and ride at Longstanton.

Stagecoach East managing director Andy Campbell claimed the van driver jumped a red light.

HSS Hire, which owns the van, said it would carry out a "full investigation to identify the cause of the accident".

Mr Campbell said the driver and passengers "were OK", but the bus was "quite badly damaged".

Another witness, Paul Hudson, also said the van hit the side of the bus after jumping a red light.

Mr Campbell said the passengers were able to continue with their journey on another bus.

Tool hire firm HSS Hire said it would co-operate with any police investigation.

Cambridgeshire Police said no arrests had been made.
