A CRASH between a car and a bus caused congestion in Botley Road at the weekend.

The collision, which happened about noon on Saturday, brought the route into and out of the city centre to a crawl for more than half an hour.

Police officers directed traffic and a recovery truck towed the car away.

There was no major damage to the vehicle but is not known whether anyone injured in the crash.

The incident caused traffic to build up as far back as the Worcester Street junction with George Street.
