Irish pop duo Jedward have revealed details of a "close call" they experienced when a bus they were travelling in crashed into a train station.
According to Edward Grimes, he and his brother John were sitting on the first floor of a double decker bus travelling from Chelmsford to Billericay in the UK when John felt they "should move downstairs".
The bus reportedly then crashed.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on October 28, Edward shared photos showing a bus with broken windows and called it "a close call".
He said, "It’s the fact glass could have shattered into anyone on board's eye with major consequences.
"Trust your instincts!"
