Simon Smith, 53, was crossing the road in Reading when an apparently out-of control bus came veering round the corner and struck him in the back.CCTV footage shows the number 17 bus smashing into a shop front seconds later, sending debris flying across Gun Street in the Berkshire town on Saturday morning.

Astonishingly, Mr Smith was pushed out of the way of the bus's path from the impact and is seen sliding across the pavement, narrowly missing the lamp post.
