Version 0 of 1.

A stolen bus careered down a street in Chichester, hitting five vehicles, before ploughing into a building and coming to a stop.

Police said the driver escaped on foot, running from the scene of the crash on Christmas Day.

One of the drivers of the other vehicles suffered a minor injury and was treated at St Richard's Hospital, a spokesman for Sussex Police said.

He said the single decker bus belonged to Stagecoach.

Appealing for witnesses, the spokesman said the bus hit five vehicles in Adelaide Road, at about 1540 GMT.

It then hit a building in St Pancras, which was left damaged.

The incident also caused damage to other vehicles estimated at thousands of pounds.
