Witness Emit Suker said the bus "was going really fast and came off the road."

"There were about 15, 16 people inside the bus. People were screaming – it was terrible," Suker said.

The Metropolitan Police force appealed for witnesses to send in phone or dashcam footage as it investigates. No arrests have been made.

Victoria is a major rail, metro and bus hub not far from Buckingham Palace and is usually thronged with commuters and tourists.
