This is the painful moment a hit-and-run bus swings round a corner and hits a cleaner sweeping a pavement in Colombia square in her backside.

The bizarre collision was caught on CCTV footage in Bogota. On 6th February, as the the woman had her back turned to the traffic on the busy road.

As she perches on the curb the woman, who has not been named, seems to be concerned with her sweeping she does not hear the public bus coming up behind her.

Then as the bus swings around the bend, its overhanging bodywork clips her on her rear end sending her sprawling across the pavement.

As she lands heavily on the ground the bus carries along its route without stopping and the footage ends.

Local media reports that the driver, from the Integrated Public Transport System, not only did not stop but made no report of the collision.

Bus owners TransMilenio only apparently became aware of the accident when the footage appeared on social media.

They told local media: “Since we became aware of the video. We began an investigation to determine the date and place of the incident, as well as the condition of the affected person.”

Local media reported that the incident sparked outrage among locals and highlighted the concerns about safety in public transportation operations.
