Kennington bus crash: 32 injured after double decker crashes into a tree
Police, ambulance and fire crews have been at the scene of a double-decker bus crash in Kennington Road, south London, in which a number of people were injured.
Two passengers who were trapped on the top deck of the bus have now been freed, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. Two other passengers, including a 19-year-old woman remain in a critical condition.
The tree became embedded into the front of the bus and emergency services had to use specialist equipment to access one side of the vehicle....
London Ambulance Service said they treated 32 patients who were sent to three London hospitals. Twenty-five, it said, were walking wounded with cuts and bruises. Five suffered more serious injuries, such as head and leg injuries.
