Yesterday a video went viral as 100 eyewitnesses tried to save a cyclist after a bus accident in Walthamstow, London.

The visual captured shows bystanders lifting a 12 tonne double decker bus off of a cyclist who had become trapped under one of the front wheels.

“I’m really amazed at the strength of Walthamstow,” eyewitness Kyra Sam told the paper.

“No one hesitated to push the bus off, I was in shock. Everyone really came together to help. It was really nice to see that in the face of something so awful.”

Police told BBC that the man was taken to hospital, where he is fighting for his life. The bus driver stayed at the scene and was not arrested.
