At least one person has died and several others are injured after a collision involving a London bus and a car. The crash happened on Whitmore Street in Harrow, northwest London, at around 9.20pm on Monday. It is unclear whether the person who died was in the bus or car involved in the crash, or whether they had been waiting at a bus stop next to where the accident happened.
A nine-year-old child is reported to be among a number of people rushed to hospital. It is understood no arrests at the time, although, according to news agency UKNIP, the bus driver - a woman who was uninjured - was questioned as part of the police investigation.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 9:17pm on 24 February to reports of a road traffic collision near Whitmore Road. “We sent multiple resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in fast response car, an incident response officer, members of our hazardous area response team (HART) as well as command support vehicles.
“We also dispatched a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance.”. “We treated four patients at the scene before taking two patients to a major trauma centre and discharging one patient at the scene. “Very sadly, despite best efforts of our crews, one person was pronounced dead at the scene.”.
