A DOUBLE decker bus caused traffic chaos this afternoon when it got stuck under a bridge.

The Ribblesdale High School bus became trapped under a railway bridge in Whalley Road, Langho, around 3pm.

None of the children from the Clitheroe school were injured and safely taken off the bus before another came to take them home.

Traffic backed up both ways at Northcote Road and police redirected motorists to ease congestion.

Engineers were called to the site to inspect the bridge which was found to be safe.

They deflated the tyres of the bus to enable it to pass under the bridge.

The driver was then issued with a fine by police officers.

The road returned to normal around 4.10pm.
