Witness accounts

Witnesses described the aftermath, saying the air ambulance was alerted. The police cordon has now been removed after investigations.

One witness said: "There was maybe seven police cars and a police helicopter. I've heard whisperings that she's okay though. There was a cordon in place from about 10am to 11am."

Another witness said: "I saw a police van drive past, followed by an ambulance and two police cars. They started blocking off the crossing here. I stepped outside and saw police all around, there was three buses in a line."

"We got a message saying that the air ambulance was coming. I found out someone had been knocked over. We got a message from our boss who talked to other people around here, saying that she was okay."
