Except from the BBC news story:

quote
A tow-truck has overturned following an accident with a double-decker
bus under a railway bridge in south London.

The accident in Battersea Park Road [...] happened as the truck tried
to go under the bridge with its extended towing arm at about 1010
GMT. The arm caught the bottom of the bridge resulting in it tilting on
to
the oncoming number 345 bus, police said.

The bus, which was left leaning over, had 30 passengers onboard at
the time. None of the passengers were hurt.

No other injuries were reported.

Shocking story. Mainly because it should be, "None of the passengers
WAS hurt."
The standards of journalism today. Bah!

Today's journalists are only following their predecessors from the 9th
century onwards, who have used both singular and plural verbs after "none
of". See 'Modern English Usage' and many other authorities.
