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!
