A West London road remains shut after a bus smashed into a terraced house yesterday evening (July 2). Emergency services rushed to St Quintin Avenue, Notting Hill, shortly before 7.15pm on Thursday to reports of the crash.
London Fire Brigade confirmed two cars were damaged when the bus veered off the road, then smashed into street furniture before coming to a stop after hitting the property.
No one was injured in the incident. Two fire engines remained at the scene for about 50 minutes and departed just after 8pm. St Quintin Avenue is still closed westbound between Highlever Road and North Pole Road. The 7 and 70 bus routes are under diversion due to the closure.

“The Brigade was called at 1912 and the incident was over for firefighters by 2003. Two fire engines from North Kensington and Hammersmith fire stations and two fire rescue units from Chelsea and Croydon fire stations attended the scene.”
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson added: “We were called at 7.14pm yesterday (July 2) to reports of a road traffic collision in St Quintin Avenue, W10. We sent a paramedic in a fast response car to the scene. Fortunately, no one needed treatment.”
