“My husband was the first on the scene and did CPR until the police/ambulance arrived.
We would both like to pass on our sympathies to the gentlemans family.”

“you are joking? That is ridiculous! I am guessing that was a first bus driver! Does anybody know who the man was who died? I hope his family are holding up. Such a shock to see it happen in front of me”
