Jersey does have a 40 mph speed limit, buses and coaches being (legally) restricted to a maximum of 30 mph, however this does not mean that accidents will not happen! Despite the unfortunate poor quality of this picture, it is clear to see that the nearly-new J 46794, which had only covered a few thousand miles at this point, had come off worse in some impact or other. The local paper carried a short news story around this time recording that a JMT bus had been in collision with a coach, possibly one belonging to Pioneer. Number 10 had been repaired and returned to service within a few months of the photograph.
