Hope the driver's ok but Jackknifed coach? Possible it was pulling a trailer otherwise interested to know how a coach can do that.

Yes, my sentiments too. I didn't know we had any bendy-buses in this part of Somerset!?

Indeed, unless we do have bendy-buses that blackmasquerade, pony.toes and I don't know of, the only way I can think of a coach jackknifing is if it split in half! My guess is poor reporting...
