In a tragic incident that unfolded outside London Victoria railway station, a bus driver named Olusofa Popoola, 61, has been spared a jail sentence after a fatal accident resulted in the death of a pedestrian, Melissa Burr, from Rainham.
The devastating incident occurred on the morning of August 10, 2021, at Terminus Place when Popoola accidentally accelerated into the back of a stationary bus, causing it to collide with Ms Burr, who was 32 years old at the time. Sadly, Ms Burr succumbed to multiple injuries sustained in the accident, and Diane Mathuranayagum, the other bus driver, suffered a fractured eye socket.
