Fatal crash at bus stop leaves one dead, including a child, and raises concerns over dangerous driving

A tragic crash in Harrow, northwest London, has resulted in the death of a woman and left two others injured after a collision involving a London bus and a car. The incident occurred on Bessborough Road at around 9:20pm on Monday, with the victims waiting at a bus stop at the time.

The woman, believed to be in her 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Among the injured, a nine-year-old child was rushed to the hospital, though their injuries are not life-threatening. Two other pedestrians were also taken to a hospital, but their conditions are not considered critical.

The driver of the car, who remained at the scene, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in custody.

Emergency services were quick to respond to the scene, with multiple resources including ambulance crews, paramedics, and a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance. Sadly, despite the efforts of medical staff, one of the victims could not be saved.

Authorities have appealed to the public for any witnesses or dashcam footage from the incident. Road closures were in place temporarily but have since been lifted as the investigation continues.
