PHOENIX Video footage shows a man and a woman sitting at the bus stop when a car comes crashing into the picture.

It's still not know what caused the driver of the car to come flying off the road and into the bus stop Monday afternoon near 7th Street and Roeser.

The man and the woman got pinned against the back of the bus stop.
The man fought his way out and the woman was not freed until a bystander came to the rescue and pushed the car away.

You can see the kind of impact of emotional toll the crash has on the driver.

The man who pushed the car away and freed the pinned victims tells he did not know what to do. He just knew he had to do something.

One of the victims had an open leg fracture, officials said.

Update: The driver says that someone cut her off as she was trying to make a right turn and that caused her to lose control of the car, but Phoenix Police say no other car was involved and that the woman simply failed to yield.

One of the victims is a 64 year old man who up until recently used to live at a senior community in south Phoenix.

Mildred Amey knows him well. She says the victm had been beaten up at that same bus stop just two days before the crash.

South Phoenix is the ghetto area, you would think that that person would try and stay away from that bus stop after a beating.
