Matt Kyp, who runs a gym opposite where the crash happened, said the bus driver was trying to avoid another crash when he "ploughed off the road".

He said the "bus went from one side [of the road] to the other and picked up pace".

He said it was a "big operation to remove the woman" but said she had been "talking to the ambulance crew" from under the bus.
