The accident occurred on Sunday on the A1080 North Bridge Street. The Echo[2] understands that there were no serious injuries, but that a northbound lane was closed for a while. A Northumbria Police[3] spokesperson: "Just after midday yesterday (Sunday, June 23), we received a report of a two-vehicle collision on North Bridge Street in Sunderland. "It was reported that a motorbike and a bus had collided on the bridge, with the motorbike becoming stuck underneath the bus.

"The road was closed to allow for vehicle recovery but re-opened to traffic a short time later."
