One woman dies and two injured after bus collision outside Victoria Railway Station

A woman has died and two pedestrians have been left injured after a collision between two buses outside Victoria railway station.

The woman, believed to be aged in her 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene at around 9am yesterday morning.

So far there have been no arrests relating to the incident, and the victim’s next of kin are being supported by specially trained officers.

Recovery trucks arrived just before 4pm to remove the buses, one of which had a shattered windscreen.

Two other people were treated for non-life threatening injuries and one person was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Transport for London commissioner Andy Byford said he was “extremely saddened that a woman had tragically died”.

He added: “Our thoughts are with her [the victim’s] family and friends.

“We are thinking of everyone affected by this incident and will support everyone however we can.

“We are working urgently with the operator of the two buses, Go Ahead London, and the police to investigate what happened.”

Officers from the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses and footage.
