There has been a serious accident involving a bus at this location. Hopefully the injuries aren't too serious. Bus stn closed as well as surrounding streets.

Initial reports are suggesting that a 198 mounted the pavement in order to avoid something on the road then in turn hit the bus station.

I'd cannot believe that I was in West Croydon yesterday afternoon at 1230 and then exactly 24 hours later this nasty accident happens. Anyway thoughts and prayers to those affected with this incident and hopefully everyone is ok.

Another picture has now emerged, seems as though a car has been involved with minor damage while Abellio's 8785 was next to T154 once it hit the bus station

A small crumb of comfort - the bus pulled up just short of the tree. If hit, that could have produced more casualties on the bus.

Oh dear, and arrested for drink driving ( on suspicion ) Be careful to make such assumptions(on suspicion) could be just shock. The Met Police web page makes no such statement. |

It has been confirmed through various sources that the driver has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they are guilty. news.met.police.uk/news/collision-at-west-croydon-bus-station-331598 |
