Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians joined together to lift a double-decker bus off the legs of a trapped cyclist in Walthamstow, north-east London on Thursday.

A video (above) captured by a woman from a building near to the site of the accident shows dozens of people working together to lift the 12 tonne 212 bus off the unicyclist trapped under its wheels.
