Schoolgirl falls from moving bus

A teenage girl landed on a parked car after opening the doors of a moving bus in Birmingham.

The 14-year-old was with a friend when they realised they had missed their stop on Stratford Road, the ambulance service said.

She suffered facial injuries while her friend managed to hold on to a railing inside the bus.

An ambulance service spokesman said: "The girl had landed on the roof of a parked car leaving a dent in it.

"She had suffered facial and head injuries but it could easily have been a great deal worse."

In my day we'd just ring the bell.
