One person has been rushed to hospital in a serious condition after a bus and car crashed in Epsom this afternoon.

A member of the public called St John Ambulance to the crash on Mountain Rd at 3.55pm.

“The person in the car was not injured, but there was one injury from someone on the bus,” a spokeswoman for St John told the Herald.

Mountain Rd was closed to northbound traffic, delaying traffic and buses in the area.

Mountain road is now open and route 321 will no longer detour.
Most 321 route buses are still significantly delayed due to the heavy traffic and will take time to catch up. https://t.co/ssFrSoqzIq
