It seems to be a slightly out-of-the-ordinary accident - the tram and
bus have ended up quite a way from each other.

(people should avoid the Mail's pictures if they would be offended by
knowing it is tram 2534).

The bit that makes the least sense to me is the line, in both papers,
"sending the bus careering about 100m down the road". *100m is a long
way for a bus to travel apparently not under control.


The Croydon Advertiser (aka This Is Croydon Today) story suggested
that the bus driver may have been knocked unconscious after colliding
with the tram, which would go towards explaining the distance the bus
travelled whilst out of control.
