Bus and car crash into shop front

A bus and a car have crashed into a shop front injuring four people, the London Fire Brigade has said.

The accident happened at about 0615 BST on Wednesday, at the junction of Sumner Road and London Road in West Croydon, south London.

One person had to be cut from the wreckage of the car, a spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said.

She described all the injuries as minor and said they are being treated at Mayday Hospital, in Croydon.

A Fire Brigade spokesman said later that crews were called to reports a bus had been in collision with the rear of a people carrier, shunting it into a shop front.

Five people were trapped in the carrier but released by firemen.
