A 19-year-old woman who died when she was hit by a taxi in Sheffield has been named by police.

Ka Yi Wu died of head injuries after the crash on Manchester Road on Saturday. She was a foreign student living in a flat on Tapton House Road.

Police said she got off a bus and walked into the road, where she was hit by a maroon London-style taxi cab.

The taxi driver was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and released on bail.

Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Doesn't sound too good.

I think it is best to wait and see what other information comes out about this. I mean did she look before she stepped into the road etc etc. Perhaps the police take this action as a matter of course now until the facts are found out........

Is it not a law in some places that you are not allowed to overtake a bus at a bus stop
This is maybe why he is been questioned by police for dangerous driving

Not as far as I know, unless there are road markings etc to say so.
You are supposed to let them out when they're leaving a stop.
The report doesn't give much information to come to any conclusion.
We don't even know if the bus had left the stop.

Down here no-one looks any way when crossing the road.
