A woman tragically killed on the A580 East Lancs Road in collision with a bus has been named as 76-year-old Maureen Bradshaw.
Maureen, from Swinton, was crossing the busy road on foot at around 6pm on Wednesday 20 July when she was struck by a V1 First bus carrying 50 people on board.
The crash sparked fears of a major emergency. Multiple ambulances, police and fire crews were dispatched to the scene.
Paramedics worked on Maureen at the roadside, but she sadly passed away in hospital around at around 7.40pm that night.
Greater Manchester Police’s Serious Collision Unit are still investigating what exactly happened on the night Maureen was killed.
The bus driver faced no sanction and no-one was arrested at the scene.
Despite being a busy road, the East Lancs sits in a highly populated area and several traumatised eyewitnesses – both in cars on the opposite carriageway and pedestrians – reported seeing the crash in real time.
Maureen’s family have asked for the privacy to they mourn their loss in peace.
Anybody with information should contact the GMP Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741.
