    A pedestrian has been killed in a tragic bus crash after the vehicle smashed into a Manchester hotel yesterday (Monday, October 16).<\/p>\n

    Almena Amica, 77, was rushed to hospital with serious injuries following the collision at Piccadilly Gardens but died shortly afterward, reports Manchester Evening News. In a statement issued by Greater Manchester Police, her family \u2013 who knew her as Mena \u2013 described her as "well-loved" and asked for privacy.<\/p>\n

    "Mena was dedicated to her family, friends and faith," the statement read. "She loved music, gardening, TV soaps and nature.<\/p>\n

    "She was the senior member of our family, the eldest sister and great-great-aunt. She was well-loved, our matriarch, and her presence will be hugely missed.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "Mena was a private person and her family asks that this be respected during our time of mourning. We thank all the services and people who came to her aid."<\/p>\n

    Eleven other people were treated either at the scene or in hospital for minor injuries following yesterday's incident, which took place at about 1pm. A man, 64, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving but has since been released on bail, the Daily Star previously reported.<\/p>\n

    Sergeant Louise Warhurst, from GMP's Serious Injury Collision Unit (SCIU), said: "This was a tragic incident witnessed by a lot of people in a busy area of the city centre. The investigation is progressing thanks to many calls with information received from the public.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "Anyone who has not yet spoken to officers but believes they are able to assist with enquiries should call 0161 856 4741 quoting log 1673 of 16\/10\/2023." Members of the public are also asked to upload photos and videos to the Major Incident Public Portal.<\/p>\n

    A spokesperson for Diamond Bus North West, which operated the bus involved in the collision, said: "On October 16, 2023 one of our Diamond Bus North West vehicles was involved in a serious incident in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester. Our priorities are the driver, passengers and pedestrians involved.<\/p>\n

    "We are cooperating with the police and emergency services. We do not have any further details we can share at this time."<\/p>\n
