Bus Driver Not Arrested; Road Closures Cause Traffic Chaos
The bus stayed at the scene, and the driver has not been arrested, said a Metropolitan Police spokesperson. However, the crash led to road closures on the A2041 Harrow Manor Way, shut both ways between Lensbury Way and Knee Hill roundabout. This has put major delays across the area.
- Several London bus routes – including 180, 229, 244, 301, 469, 472, and B11 – are now diverted.
- Police continue investigating the incident.
