Speaking to News Shopper, Gillespie said: "I just came across the crash. It was a black Volkswagen and it looked like it was speeding and had gone into the side of the bus.

"The car was very damaged, inside all the airbags had gone off.

"It was the side of the bus which was more damaged, the front of the bus on the corner where you should have the lights, they were gone."

He added: "There wasn't anyone on the bus I think, it was out of service.

"Everyone seemed alright, no one seemed injured."

According to IB Times, Scotland Yard said no injuries had been reported, adding: "The driver of the car left the scene, the bus driver didn't. The crash happened at around 3am."
