A woman who died in a horror crash at a city centre bus stop has been named as Joyce Bacon. Ms Bacon, from Droylsden, Tameside, was struck by a double-decker Stagecoach bus at a stop near Piccadilly Gardens.
Despite the best efforts of medics, she sadly could not be saved. Two other pedestrians were also hit by the bus, which smashed into a shelter shortly before 9.30pm on Sunday night (July 10).
Another woman, in her 50s, suffered serious injuries, while a man in his 60s received treatment for what police described as 'minor' injuries.
