AKIPRESS.COM - A man has died and 13 people were injured when a car collided with a night bus.

The man, believed to be in his 20s, was one of four men in the car when it was involved in an accident with a bus in Clapton, east London, at around 2.20am today, Telegraph said.

The three others in the car were also badly injured, one critically, while 10 people on the N38 bus were treated as "walking wounded", Scotland Yard said, and some were taken to hospital.

The bus was travelling towards Whipps Cross, north east London, when the accident happened in Lea Bridge Road, at the junction with Essex Wharf.

A wrecked blue car thought to be an Audi lay across a central reservation next to traffic lights close to the Lee Valley Ice Centre.
