A woman in her 30s has died and two people were hospitalised after a crash involving two buses outside Victoria Railway Station.
Pictures show two crashed buses by the London station, one of which is the 507 to Waterloo. The incident happened at 8.25am during the morning rush hour.
It is believed that one bus crashed into another before ploughing into the commuters in front of them.
One of the pedestrians was pronounced dead at 9am, and two others have been treated for 'non-life threatening injuries' in hospital. A fourth person was treated at the scene but not hospitalised.
Images from the scene, just by the busy station's coach depot, appear to show that the vehicles are still on the road, indicating they had not careered off into the pavement.
Following reports of the crash, commuters said that the crossing had been 'a nightmare for years' with 'buses rushing in and out', and the area 'needs desperate improvement now'.
The London Underground's Circle and District lines have also suspended sections of their routes this week, causing further chaos for those having the find alternate routes while commuting across London.
Police have now cordoned off the area around Terminus Place.
One of the pedestrians was pronounced dead at 9am, and two others have been treated for 'non-life threatening injuries' in hospital
