FIVE people escaped with minor injuries after the roof of a double-decker bus was torn off after hitting a tree in central London, The Guardian reported yesterday.

The bus, a No 91 heading to Trafalgar Square, was badly damaged after the incident in Holborn on Monday, the report said.

Pictures taken by witnesses showed the roof severed from the vehicle. One bystander said it could have “decapitated” its passengers.

Shattered glass was strewn across Kingsway, near the London School of Economics, with the bus roof trailing from the back of the vehicle, according to the report.

Emergency services, including fire engines, paramedics and police officers, were on the scene soon after the incident occurred at about 1pm. Five people were treated for relatively minor injuries, the report said.

Metroline, the operator of the 91 bus service, said it was still working to understand the causes of the crash. A spokesman said: “An immediate investigation into the incident has commenced.”
