A double-decker tourist bus has collided with a souvenir stand near London's Trafalgar Square. The Golden Tours hop-on-hop-off service was traveling near the landmark on Thursday afternoon when the incident occurred.
Emergency services, including the London Fire Brigade, responded to the scene after the collision was reported around 4:15 p.m. local time. Images shared online showed the stand partially damaged, with merchandise scattered on the ground. A recovery vehicle was seen towing away the bus.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that there were no serious injuries. Authorities also stated that the incident is not considered terrorism-related.
A witness who passed the scene shortly after the collision described the stall as "crippled." The witness noted that the bus was some distance from the road. "My initial thought was to wonder how I'd get through to get home from work, it was only when I got closer that I realised it was worse than I thought," the witness stated.
London Fire Brigade and Golden Tours have been contacted for comment.
