A man has been killed by a bus that ploughed off a road and into a row of houses.

The 40-year-old, believed to be a pedestrian, was hit by the vehicle in Dudley, West Midlands.

The driver of the bus, in his late 30s, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Bunns Lane, a residential street, was cordoned off as fire and ambulance crews tackled the wreckage of the single-decker bus, which crashed through the front of a terraced house.
