Two passengers have been rescued after being trapped on the upper deck of a bus that smashed into a shop on a busy London street.
Nine people suffered minor injuries when the bus hit the building near Clapham Junction railway station in southwest London shortly on Thursday morning.
One passenger reported that the driver said he "blacked out" before the crash.
Another recalled how passengers began screaming as smoke emerged from underneath the vehicle and there was "a lot of blood" as a woman was trapped.
The driver was taken to hospital, police said.
Glass lay shattered across the ground as paramedics tended to people on the top deck.
Andrew Matthews, 34, said he was one of around a dozen passengers onboard.
"I was on the top floor at the back, fortunately," he said.
"I noticed the bus drifting. I heard a smash and saw the roof of the shop going through (the bus) from the front left. It went to the fourth or fifth row.
"I wedged myself in, bracing myself.
"As soon as the bus came to a stop there was yelling, screaming."
