"The bus stop pole is through the car. The roof wasn't crumpled. A very lucky person."

"I know my five-year-old saw it," he said, "And she saw the police and drone, she came home with my eldest and she was so scared and shaking."

It is not yet clear if anyone was hurt, but it is believed that no one was waiting at the bus stop at the time of the incident. 

Wiltshire Police have been approached for comment.
