BUSES were being forced to divert their routes after a crash near a hospital.

West Yorkshire Police was called to reports of a road traffic collision on Daisy Hill Lane, in Bradford.

It was close to the road's junction with Daisy Hill Back Lane and just behind Bradford Maternity Hospital and close to Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI).

A police spokesperson said: "A woman suffered minor injuries.

"The road was blocked due to the collision."

The accident impacted traffic in the area for a short time.

First West Yorkshire posted on Twitter at 8.21am to announce two of its services were diverting, as a result of the crash.

The 620 bus was going via Toller Lane, while the 680 is diverting along Toller Lane and Duckworth Lane.

These changes were in both directions.

But the accident was cleared 20 minutes later.

First West Yorkshire tweeted at 8.41am to say both the 620 and 680 buses had resumed their normal routes.
