Sue Cotterill, a worker at Honeyman’s fruit and vegetable shop witnessed the accident she said:

“I saw the man driving and thought he wasn’t going to stop all of a sudden he crashed into the bus stop and it bounced. There was an old lady sat at the bus stop who was thrown from her seat. The glass fell out of the bus stop over her and three other people.”

Previous to the accident the gentleman had been in the Cleveland pub. The gentleman had been overheard saying that he did not feel well and was going to go home. Shortly after that the accident occurred.
