An 18-year-old woman is believed to have died after being pinned by a bus against a building in a horror crash in Brisbane's CBD. Emergency services rushed to the scene at the corner of Edward Street and Ann Street after the bus mounted a curb just after 5pm.

"I'm saddened to hear the news that a woman has died after a bus was involved in a serious crash in Brisbane CBD this evening," he posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
