The roof of a busy London tour bus has been ripped off, after hitting a tree in the capital.
A tour of London's finest attractions ground to a halt unexpectedly, when the already partly open-top bus lost its roof after making contact with a tree in Bloomsbury. Initial reports indicate that four passengers are receiving medial treatment in hospital, with others reeving treatment for minor injuries close to the site.
The London Fire Brigade has stated that fire crews were called at 1.12pm, with three response vehicles being sent to the site of the incident.
A spokesman for LFB told The Independent: "It's a tourist bus in collision with a tree that's taken the roof off, so we're working with LAS service down there at the scene at the moment."
The Independent has approached Golden Tours, who operate the bus tour involved in the incident, for a comment.
