At approximately 9:20 pm on Monday night, a devastating collision between a bus and a car on Whitmore Road in Harrow, northwest London, left one person dead and several others injured, including a child. Shocking images captured at the scene reveal the extent of the devastation, with emergency services scrambling to manage the aftermath of the crash.
Emergency responders from the London Ambulance Service and Metropolitan Police’s collision investigation unit swiftly attended the incident, which occurred on a road just off the A312—a key link between Harrow and Northolt. Initial reports remain unclear regarding the exact circumstances, with authorities still investigating whether the victim was a passenger in one of the vehicles or a bystander waiting at a nearby bus stop.
A total of five individuals, including the child, were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. While details about the passengers’ exact conditions are still emerging, it has been confirmed that the bus driver—a woman—escaped injury and has been questioned as part of the ongoing investigation. No arrests have been made at this stage.
The crash led to significant disruption in the area, with road closures and diversions in place for several hours as investigators worked to piece together the events leading up to the collision. Both directions on the A312, as well as Whitmore Road, were temporarily shut down but have now been reopened to traffic. Transport for London has been contacted for further comment.
