A teenager’s last tragic moments before she was run over and killed by a city bus in horror scenes have been revealed.
The 18-year-old woman had just left a beauty salon after having her eyelashes done when the Brisbane CBD bus pinned her against the wall of a building on Edward St, climbed onto the curb and hit her from behind.
The bus had just turned onto Edward St from Ann St during the Friday afternoon rush hour when it appears the driver lost control and veered onto the footpath.
The woman from Hemmant, in Brisbane’s inner east, was reportedly facing the wall of a building in Anzac Square when she was struck from behind and pinned against the wall of the structure.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, she died at the scene.
