A double-decker bus has crashed into a garden in south London, leaving one person in hospital and three with minor injuries.

The 118 bus, which runs between Morden station and Brixton in the south of the capital, hit the property in Streatham Vale shortly before 9pm on Boxing Day.

A spokeswoman for London ambulance service said: “We were called to reports of a bus colliding with a car and a house and we sent numerous resources. Three people were treated at the scene for minor injuries; one person was taken to hospital by ambulance.”

People have tweeted images of the crash, with some showing damage to cars and a bus stationary in the front garden.
