Builders liability insurance holders have been given a stark warning about working near busy roads after a bus crashed into scaffolding.
The BBC reported that the First Devon and Cornwall number 88 bus service was travelling to Falmouth when it crashed into the scaffolding on Boscawen street.
One of the top windows fell out of the bus when it hit the pole, but fortunately no one was injured in the incident.
In a statement, the travel company said that it had contacted the scaffolding firm to make them aware of the issue.
"We have warned all other First drivers in the area to be aware of the scaffolding and to take extra care when passing the building concerned," it added.
Last year, public liability insurance holders were warned about the responsibilities which come with scaffolding when the Health and Safety Executive prosecuted Bracknell Roofing Co of Suffolk for not using edge protection.
