One passenger reported to be 'shaken up' was taken to Tauranga hospital as a precaution. St John Ambulance say.

Alfresco Cafe owner, Malcolm George says he has just been waiting for this to happen.

'I have disputed with the Tauranga City Council over and over again to get them to stop the bus route from Cameron Road down hill on  Hamilton Street, because look what happened today.'

Bop Live Reporter Cameron Avery was at the scene and a spoke to a witness  who said the cafe is a very busy cafe with the local court workers who normally eat lunch there.
