Olusofa Popoola, a 60 year-old bus driver, put his foot on the accelerator instead of the brake, and was involved in a fatal crash that killed Melissa Burr, 32, outside Victoria Station, London. Popoola, from Peckham, south London, was charged with causing death by careless driving and causing death by dangerous driving, but the jury failed to reach verdicts on the latter charge. He will now face a retrial in August. Melissa was crushed in front of two colleagues and died from her injuries in hospital. Popoola had worked as a bus driver for 20 years and told the court he panicked, thinking the brake had failed.
