Abellio bus route 484 crashes into front garden of Lewisham home

A bus has driven into the front garden of a home in Lewisham, south east London, this morning. 

 

The incident took place at around 6:30am on Vicars Hill, SE13, a police spokeswoman told City A.M. The bus was travelling along the 484 route. 

 

No injuries have been reported, although London Ambulance Service is on the scene, along with the Metropolitan Police. 

 

Lewisham Police tweeted about the incident, saying: “It's fair to say 'bus has driven into house' is not an everyday call, even for Lewisham”.
