From the BBC:
Two people have been taken to hospital after a bus hit a tree and its roof was "taken clean off".
The incident happened on Hedgemans Road in Dagenham, east London, at about 10:00 GMT, the Metropolitan Police said.
Images of the aftermath posted on social media appeared to show that the roof of the bus had been ripped off.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene where they found two injured women who were taken to hospital as a precaution, the Met said.
Their injuries are not life-threatening nor life-changing, the force added.
Stevie Fletcher, who lives nearby, said: "I heard sirens and looked out of my window to see emergency services just up the road. I went to have a look and the bus roof had been taken clean off, apparently by a tree."
Police inquiries into the cause of the crash continue.
