A CAR crashed into a bus following a police pursuit in Netherton yesterday (Thursday).

The blue Ford Focus smashed into a single decker bus, parked in Halesowen Road, at around 2.45pm.

One man was arrested on suspicion of unauthorised vehicle taking but the other occupant of the car fled the scene.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said the 24-year-old remained in custody this morning and appealed for any witnesses to call 101.
