<\/p>\nSix people have been taken to hospital after two double-decker buses collided in south London, emergency services have said.<\/p>\n
The crash happened at 8.05am on Wednesday and involved a route 35 bus colliding into a route 333 bus that was not in service, according to Transport for London (TfL).<\/p>\n
Pictures from the scene appeared to show one of the buses ended up very close to the window frontage of a theatre – Southwark Playhouse Borough – in Newington Causeway, Southwark.<\/p>\n
The other bus seemed to have smashed into the back of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
A number of people were treated at the scene and six were taken to hospital, said the London Ambulance Service.<\/p>\n
