An 18-year-old woman has died after being pinned between a bus and a wall in Brisbane's CBD.
Authorities have pledged to find answers after an 18-year-old woman died when she was pinned between a bus and a building in Brisbane's city centre. Emergency services were called following reports of a serious crash on Edward Street involving a bus hitting a pedestrian about 5pm on Friday. The bus had mounted the kerb and pinned the woman against a wall near one of the city's busiest intersections during peak hour. The woman suffered critical injuries and died at the scene.
"That will be determined - we will have those answers," he said. Council's Transport for Brisbane divisional manager Samantha Abeydeera said the bus's brakes were tested in February. She said she believed council's fleet was "very safe".
