A runaway bus rolled down a lane and across a footpath before crashing into a Letterkenny car park this afternoon.

No injuries have been reported from the incident, which occurred near the Letterkenny Shopping Centre/Port Road shortly before noon.

It is understood the coach was parked at the Letterkenny Shopping Centre and was unmanned when it rolled down the link road and then careened into the car park behind Tobins Service Station and Killashulan Court.

The bus came to a halt after crashing through the barrier and hitting a car, which was parked in the car park.

“Amazingly it looks like nobody was hurt. It was just lucky there was no one on the footpath at the time,” an onlooker said.

Gardaí are currently at the scene but is expected that it will be some time before the bus can be removed.

The lane from Tesco to Port Road has been closed to traffic.
