A SHORT-CUT was cut short when a Blackburn bus driver tried to take his double decker bus under a low bridge.
Luckily, there was no one on board as the driver smashed his 14ft bus into the 12ft high bridge, tearing most of the roof off.
When his house caught fire, a quick thinking Burnley man lowered his pregnant wife to safety using a rope made from sheets.
