Six people were hurt when the roof of a double decker bus was torn off
as it crashed into a tree in north London.

Witnesses initially reported an explosion on the number 349 in Tottenham
High Road at 1244 GMT.

But police found the bus had hit a tree. No-one was killed but six
people have been injured, none seriously.

Police and firefighters were at the scene on Monday and the bus driver
was taken to hospital, thought to be suffering from shock.

The road was closed while the scene was investigated.

A police spokesman said: "The bus has hit a tree and the top of the bus
has come off.

"Police believe that this made a loud noise causing witnesses to believe
the roof came off as a result of an explosion."

Transport for London has launched an investigation into the crash.
