A London bus "collided with a tree" while it was traveling down a road in the center of the city, according to London transport official Ken Davidson.

"Five people have been treated by the London Ambulance Service for minor injuries and two of them have been taken to hospital," said London Fire Brigade Station Manager Gary Squires.

Firemen used a winch to remove the final section of the bus roof.

"There will be a full investigation into this incident," says Davidson.
