A 36-year-old man is in hospital with a broken ankle after the car he was driving was involved in a crash with an Arriva bus.
The incident took place at 6pm last night on the A167 at Newton Aycliffe, near the junction with Durham Road.
He was driving a Honda Civic on the southbound side of the road when it collided with an Arriva bus full of passengers.
He was taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital where he was treated.
