Shoaib Hanif, 28, witnessed the horrific event unfold. He told the press how he “saw a man, thought to be the bus driver, running before he saw the vehicle itself careering down the street.”

He explained: “He was running from where the old Odeon cinema was and the bus was already at the traffic lights. It hit a blue car which then hit a man crossing the road.

“The bus then carried on down and hit another bus which hit another bus.”
