The previous tree bash that I remember was in Tower Bridge Road in
2008, when a passing pedestrian was killed by a falling branch. In
that case, the tree was leaning over the carriageway, and there were
concerns about similar leaning trees all over London.

This tree also seems to be leaning into the road, and not in a way that
looks as if it could have been caused by the bash.

Reports say that the bus swerved to avoid a car.

At least one says it swerved to avoid an emergency vehicle.
