The fire service said there was no fire but "when airbags activate, occasionally they release a powder which can look like the vehicle smoking. But it is harmless".

In a statement, it said: "Please try to take care whilst driving on the roads, fortunately there was nobody waiting for a bus on this occasion but it could have turned out to be a very different incident."
