A BMW collided with a double decker bus outside Hampton Wick station earlier this evening.

Two fire engines, police cars and ambulances attended the smash which left the front of the car heavily damaged.

The road was blocked in the Twickenham direction as traffic was ushered through by Transport for London workers.

A woman, who looked to be in her mid 40s, was stuck behind the wheel of the BMW for about 30 minutes after the crash with paramedics tending to her.

She was later released and walked slowly toward a waiting ambulance with no visible sign of injury.
