Pictures posted on Twitter by London Ambulance Service staff show the bus – thought to be a private hire vehicle – missing the majority of its upper deck in Isleworth.
Emergency services attended the scene, but luckily nobody was on the upper deck at the time of the collision. The driver was checked over by ambulance staff, but did not require hospital treatment, according to London Ambulance Service's emergency planning and reisilience officer Chris .
The bus featured a destination sign on its side reading "rugby special". England are currently playing Scotland in the Six Nations at Twickenham Stadium, which is around 2 miles from the site of the collision.
