The 90-year-old suffered head injuries and a suspected “medical episode” when she was thrown from her seat as the single-decker vehicle travelled along Beverley Rise towards Grove Road in Ilkley yesterday.

The incident happened at 1.25pm when the bus braked suddenly to prevent a crash with a Renault Laguna that was pulling out of a driveway.

The woman was taken to hospital but died a short time later.

Police are appealing for any witnesses. Call the major collision enquiry team on 101.
