Bus written off by drunk teenagers

It was the same vehicle featured in the BBC TV show This Country

A bus owned by Pulham and Sons Coaches has been written off after two drunk teenage joyriders crashed it in the Cotswolds.

A CCTV camera recorded Harry Atley, 19, and Thomas Bloomfield, 18, taking turns to drive the single-decker nine miles, from Tetbury in Gloucestershire to Malmesbury, Wiltshire before crashing it.

Both were thrown into the windscreen, which smashed.

The operator says the teenagers' actions have cost them £100,000 because of a big increase in insurance premiums.

The judge ordered them each to pay £10,000 compensation to Pulham's at £400 a month.

They were each sentenced to eight months’ detention suspended for a year, disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work.

It was the same vehicle featured in the BBC TV show This Country.
