On Tuesday January 25, double-decker bus crashed into electricals shop on Selwyn Avenue, Highams Park, on Tuesday morning around 8am. There were 19 people injured and 3 of them were schoolchildren. There were students from Highams Park School as well who were on the bus at that time. It is really scary as those children were alone away from their parents.

Several witnesses said there were lots of schoolchildren on the bus “scared and crying”. Local shop owners helped to those people who were scared and injured.

On Wednesday 26 January, a car smashed into the same shop just one day after a bus crashed into the same building. This time it was around 8pm. The driver of the car found to have sustained “non-life changing” injuries.

However, as clarified the two incidents are not thought to be linked.
