The female driver of the car, which was badly damaged in the crash, was taken to a nearby hospital emergency department “as a priority” the London Ambulance Service said in a statement.

One male bus passenger was taken to hospital suffering from back and neck pain, while another five passengers were treated in hospital for minor injuries.

Two other passengers were treated at the scene.

The London Road, on which the accident happened, was closed after the accident but has since reopened.
