Telecoms worker Kimberley said: “The truck hit an island then clipped another car.

“I was frozen in terror and felt the wing mirror brush my bum

“Orla just pegged it and took me with her.

“She saved my life.”

Kimberley, of Castleford, West Yorks, added: “Half an hour later and the pavement would have been packed with schoolkids.”

The truck was dumped in nearby Pontefract.
