As the bus crosses the junction, a black Porsche Cayenne can be seen approaching from the right at high speed and the driver does not slow down.

The SUV drives straight into the side of the trolley bus, sending the bus spinning 45 degrees in a cloud of dust.

Footage from the aftermath shows how the Porsche was left with its front side completely destroyed in the incident as onlookers work to rescue the female driver, named in reports as Svetlana Unguryanu.
