This devastating footage shows a truck ploughing through a queue at a bus stop, killing a woman and injuring five other commuters.

Traffic cameras show the truck travelling on the inside of a bus which suddenly veers to the kerb.

The truck is forced right, too, but the driver fails to see the danger of the pedestrians and slams straight into them.

Police in Hangzhou, capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province, said an unidentified 51-year-old woman lost her life as a result of the accident.

Three men and two women – including one who was pregnant – were injured.

Footage shows the pedestrians rushing towards an approaching bus, completely unaware of the fast-moving truck also hurtling towards them.
