Bus crashes through front window of Notting Hill home after colliding with street furniture and two cars


A bus crashed through the front window of a home in West London after reportedly colliding with street furniture and two parked cars before mounting the pavement.

The Transport for London (TfL) bus ploughed into the front of the property on St Quintin Avenue in Notting Hill on Thursday evening, leaving the vehicle embedded in the building.

Emergency services rushed to the scene on July 2, with firefighters, police officers and other responders remaining at the site into the following morning.

The staircase leading to the front door was destroyed in the impact, and the home’s front windows were shattered and dislodged.

The cause of the crash is currently unknown. However, it is believed that no one was injured in the incident.
