but was immediately transferred to Leeds.

She landed on the bonnet and windscreen of the silver Peugeot 107, which was travelling down Newsome Road towards Huddersfield.

Newsome Road was closed at its junction with Newsome Road South and Kings Mill Lane for several hours while enquiries were carried out by police.

The closure disrupted bus services which had to be diverted.

And hundreds of commuters heading for work faced delays on alternative routes.

Bystanders suggested that the woman was running for a bus shortly before the collision, which happened near a zebra crossing.
