Bus slides sideways down icy road before a 4x4 crashes into another car | LBC

This is the moment a bus perilously slides sideways down an icy road before a 4x4 crashes into another car.

Weather warnings for snow and ice are in place until Wednesday as Storm Darcy bites, bringing freezing temperatures and up to a foot of snow to some parts of the country.

An amber weather warning for snow is in place until early afternoon for parts of the south east, as well as parts of the Midlands, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Yellow warnings for ice and snow across eastern areas the length of Britain are in place until Wednesday.

Around 5-10cm (2-4in) is set to fall in parts of the south east, reaching up to 30cm (11.8in) in the worst affected regions.

In the east of England, several Covid-19 vaccination centres were closed, including; Clacton Hospital, Colchester United's stadium, Gainsborough Sports Centre in Ipswich, and Chevington Close in Bury St Edmunds.

Five Covid-19 vaccination centres closed in Suffolk at Debenham, Haverhill, Ipswich (Trinity Park), Stowmarket and Woodbridge.

The large scale Covid-19 vaccination centre in North Walsham in Norfolk was also closed.

It means a total of 10 vaccination centres have been closed so far today.

A testing site at the Guildhall in Sandwich was also closed today due to the snow, Kent Council confirmed.

There was major disruption on the trains with Greater Anglia saying it will last until at least midday across their network due to accumulated ice as a result of snow.

On the roads, the snow made the A140 impassable in both directions from the Huntercombe Hospital Turnoff at Hevingham, and Aylsham.

Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex Police have all urged people not to go out if we don't have to.

There are reports of stranded cars in Norwich and significant snow drifts making roads in South Norfolk and Suffolk completely impassable.

Suffolk Highways say conditions are “Very similar to the Beast from The East”.

A number of schools are closed even to vulnerable children and children of key workers due to the weather, and a cliff fall at Scatby in Norfolk was also reported to the Coastguard.

Strong easterly winds from Ukraine and the Black Sea area hit on Sunday bringing "bitterly cold" conditions, the Met Office said.

The Met Office said Sunday started "on a wintry note in some areas, with rain turning increasingly to snow across the south-east of the UK, and snow showers feeding into the north-east."

The winds made it feel like there were sub-zero temperatures across the country on Sunday while Monday is set to be another cold day with some places struggling to get much above freezing, the Met Office said.
