Tributes have been paid to a man crushed to death when he was hit by a crane as he washed his car in the street.
Bus driver Michael Alexa, 23, died when the crane collapsed at a building site in Battersea, south west London.
Neighbours said he was cleaning his treasured silver BMW when the jib of the crane came crashing down onto a two-storey block of flats and then into the street.
It is believed that members of his family live on the Savona Estate, off Thessaly Road, opposite to where the tragedy took place.
Mohamed Herse, who lives in the flat above the family home, said Mr Alexa had a baby who will celebrate its first birthday in a few days.
He said: "He was a good man, very ambitious. He was washing his car. He went to the shop and he was just washing his car afterwards. Everybody around here knew him and he was very close to his family."
Colin Farrant, commercial manager of his employer London General, said Mr Alexa lived with his partner.
He said: "All staff and colleagues are greatly shocked by this tragic accident. Mr Alexa was a well-liked employee."
Mr Farrant said Mr Alexa was based at the company's Stockwell depot and drove buses on route 11, which runs between Fulham and Liverpool Street.
A 37-year-old crane driver also died when he was flung from the cab of the 160ft machine in the accident shortly before 6pm on Tuesday. The crane driver was employed by Falcon Crane Hire, based in Thetford, Norfolk. An employee said staff were "distraught".
