“I’m not surprised. When there’s snow and ice there’s problems coming up here. It’s a dangerous spot,” said Shona Campbell of Howe Street, which connects to Circus Place.

Candia Kingston of Moray Place said: “The poor people in the house, can you imagine that bus at your livingroom window?

"I didn’t see anything but walking out you don’t see something like this every day. I hope everyone’s okay. I didn’t even know that it had happened.”

Another Howe Street resident said: “The first thing I heard were all the sirens and police coming. I didn’t see or hear the crash but I looked out the window and just said thought ‘oh my God!’”
