At least six people have been injured in a bus crash on a busy high street in south London.

Images showed the double-decker wedged into the side of a shop after mounting the pavement on Lavender Hill, Clapham. A section of the shop’s awning appeared to have pierced the front windows on the bus’s upper deck. A witness said he saw a trapped woman screaming and that there was “a lot of blood”.
