Bus smashes into Sydney family home

A bus has smashed into a home in Sydney's west, shocking the family inside and demolishing a fence.

The route 797 to Penrith service left Kukundi Drive at Glenmore Park about 4pm on Sunday and hit two fences, destroying one, before crashing into a house.

The 56-year-old male driver, the only person on board, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Nepean Hospital.

A mum and her three young children inside the home were shaken but unhurt, police say.

Structural engineers were examining the property to make sure it was not in danger of collapsing.

Meanwhile, a pedestrian has been hit by a bus in Erskineville, in Sydney's inner-west.

The man, aged in his 30s, was struck at a crossing on Erskineville Road about 12.45pm on Sunday.

He was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Pictures from the scene show the bus - in use as a rail service replacement - with damage to its front left side.
