Emergency services were called to Honeypot Lane in the HA7 area shortly before midnight on Sunday, 30 August, following reports of a road traffic collision.
The crash involved an N98 double-decker bus and a white BMW, both of which sustained extensive damage.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a patient was pronounced dead at the scene.
“We took another patient to a major trauma centre as a priority.”
No further details about the person who died or the injured patient have yet been confirmed.
