Default Bus in Building

Does anyone know why there's a bus half way into a building in Lewisham

I can't see any news about this anywhere, but I think it must have been
involved in a major police chase.

It's rather disturbing, and some news always helps, somehow.



Local news isn't very snappy at the weekend, but I'd imagine news
sources will cover this tomorrow (i.e. monday) or maybe even tuesday.

icSouthLondon, the web offshoot of the South London Press, covers
stories such as this:

And BBC London News online might carry a report as well:

I'm sure all will become clear.


Is this it?

Car and bus crash kills teenager

An 18-year-old died and three others were seriously hurt when their car
and a bus crashed on a railway bridge.

The bus then mounted the pavement in Anerley Road, Upper Norwood,
south-east London, hit a wall and knocked debris onto the train line on
Friday night.

A train was forced to stop but it was not carrying any passengers and
did not hit the debris. The bus driver and one bus passenger were not
hurt.

The three car passengers, two aged 16, are being treated at Lewisham
Hospital.

Anerley Road is still closed.

Formal identification

Officers were called to the crash at the junction with Hamlet Road at
about 2045 GMT.

Police said the bus was travelling south along Anerley Road and had
just pulled out from a bus stop.

The black VW Golf in which the four youths were travelling was going
north along the road.

The teenager who died is believed to be from south London, but is yet
to be formally identified.

Police are appealing for witnesses.
