It is not yet clear how serious their injuries are.
One horrified witness told The Sun Online the buses were traveling in opposite directions when they plowed into each other.
Mark Jeffries said: “It was really horrific – the buses collided and then the car drove through the middle of them.
“One person was thrown through the window on one of the buses and it looked like people on the pavement were hit.
“The sounds were horrific – you could hear the screaming.
“There were children being comforted on the pavement as some had been out trick or treating on the road.
“It’s horrendous.”
Road closures are currently in place on Sevenoaks Road with drivers being urged to find alternative routes.
The London Ambulance Service confirmed they had now left the scene with the wounded taken to hospital.
