A double-decked bus has ploughed into the roof of a Paris tunnel, injuring four people.
One of the wounded is said to be in a serious condition after the accident under the Alexandre III bridge just after midday on Friday.
Dozens of police officers were seen around the bus as it backed out of the tunnel under the Seine River several hours after the incident.

Its top-level windshield appeared smashed and what looked like a tent roof was collapsed.
Big Bus Tours said the bus had made the detour because other routes were closed due to a major display of sporting events as Paris bids to host the 2024 Olympic Games.
The nationalities of those injured is not yet known.
