Tower Bridge Road bus crash - woman killed

This is so awful.

Does anyone know the name of the woman who died?

Terrible news, my sympathies to the friends and family of the woman who tragically died in this awful accident.

This is the second time in the past few months the 188 has been involved in a serious crash - one drove into a shop front back in March in Rotherhithe (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7306012.stm)

Story updated with a couple of eyewitness quotes:

Latest from Scotland Yard is that anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Catford Traffic Garage on 020 8284 5931.

I went down there this morning as I live round the corner and was surprised at the damage to the bus. And poor pedestrian who lost her life- it seems she was only young too. I'm sure when I was travelling on the 188 myself the other day I saw signs on the trees warning drivers about them overhanging. They seems to have gone today though.

Guardian:

A Metropolitan police spokesman said officers were trying to establish "whether the bus collided with the tree or the tree fell on to the bus. We're just not sure yet."

Shocking news... :-(

Sky now have details of the person killed

Saw this on Sky the minute it hit the news sitting here in Tel Aviv. Absolutely baffling. Why on EARTH are there branches low enough to hit the tops of buses? So sad, condolences to the family of that poor girl.

How horrible.
