Kenneth Matcham, 60, died and 15 bus passengers were injured in a collision involving a car and two buses at around 10pm. Dramatic images from the scene in Orpington, south east London, show debris scattered across the street, and both buses smashed-up by the side of the road. Kenneth's daughter Shelley Gardner has told how she spoke to her dad just minutes before the crash when he was on his break. She told the Mail: "He was on his break and called me to ask me if I'd taken the kids out trick or treating. "I told him that I had and he said "where's my pictures then?" "I sent them after I'd spoken to him.

Witness Tariq Sheikh, 41, who lives in a flat overlooking the scene, said: "I heard a continuous wailing of sirens at around 10.30pm, and then just saw fire engines everywhere. "The R11 bus crashed into the front wall of a house at the bottom of Tower Road, and then the other bus has swerved to the other side of the road. "It's all a bit graphic. Everything is strewn everywhere. There's bits of cars, bits of buses. "Looking at it now, there's two heavy duty recovery vehicles that are about to lift the buses out of the gardens. They are taking evidence from one of the buses as part of their clear up. "There's a lot of gossip on an Oprington community Facebook page, saying the bus driver had been killed. "It's all cordoned off. I was told I can't go and see my parents, who live down the road. "I thought it was maybe a Halloween incident or something random like that. I was surprised to hear that wailing of sirens." Scotland Yard confirmed that one man had died, and said that three others sus
