A bus has crashed into a garden in the town of Læsten, located between Randers and Viborg.
The bus had one driver and two passengers, according to East Jutland Police.
The driver and one of the passengers have been taken to the emergency room for a check-up, but according to police, there are no reports of serious injuries.
"We received an emergency call at 08:15, so we sent two patrols out there. And when they arrived, everyone had already gotten out of the bus," says duty officer at East Jutland Police, Peter Svith Poulsen.
The bus crashed into a garden bordering Viborgvej – and the windows were shattered.

Crashed into Inger's garden
-------------------------
Now the bus is lying in Inger Jensen's garden.
She heard the accident happen with a bang.
"I was watching TV, and then I heard a huge thud and the sound of breaking glass. So I had to hurry out to see what had happened. Before I got out, there were already 20 people in my garden," says Inger Jensen.
The bus is from regional route 62, operated by the bus company Umove.
It is the bus company's responsibility to remove the bus. Umove has ordered roadside assistance to remove the bus when they can and are allowed to.
Inger Jensen was watching TV when she suddenly heard the bus crash into her garden.
They also state that passengers, witnesses, or relatives who feel the need for psychological support are very welcome to contact their crisis helpline.
According to resident Inger Jensen, the atmosphere in the area is now calm, even though she was initially quite surprised by the sight.
"I was completely shaken, I couldn't say anything. At first I thought: 'What am I going to find out there?' But there were so many people who had everything under control before I even got out."

Second bus accident for Midttrafik this year
-----------------------------------
According to East Jutland Police, this is a single-vehicle accident. That means there were no other parties involved.
They are still investigating the cause of the accident.
"Why it overturned, we are still looking into that. That includes witness statements and on-site investigations, such as skid marks," says duty officer at East Jutland Police, Peter Svith Poulsen.

This is the second time this year that one of Midttrafik's buses has been involved in an accident.
In January, two people died after two Midttrafik route buses collided head-on north of Aarhus.
The bus driver of one of those buses was charged last month with negligent manslaughter.
We have tried to get a response from Midttrafik regarding the fact that there has been another accident and what the cause is this time. But the transport company has not wished to comment.
They write that they hope everyone is unharmed and that people should contact the crisis helpline if they need to process the incident.
Midttrafik does not expect the accident to affect the rest of the bus service.
