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!
