THIS is the heartstopping moment a speeding biker ploughed into a trainee teacher as she stepped off a bus on to the pavement.
Macenna Shaw, who was wearing a balaclava-style ski mask, smashed into Grace Marriott while on a motorcycle.

Horrifying footage showed her exiting the bus unaware of Shaw speeding towards her.
The 21-year-old then struck Grace almost immediately as she stepped on the pavement in Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Grace was then dragged along the ground for several metres before Shaw’s bike ended up on top of them both.
The reckless rider attempted to flee the scene but was stopped by the bus driver and other passers-by who rushed over to help.
Grace, a trainee teacher in her 30s, was left with horror injuries including three fractured ribs and a punctured lung.
She also suffered a fracture to her leg and multiple abrasions and burns to her arms, abdomen, hips, and buttocks in the September 2023 crash.
Grace, who had to undergo two operations and a skin graft, was forced to wear a metal cage on her leg and was in a wheelchair for six weeks.
She said: “I feel every part of me has been taken away. I feel like it has ruined my life.”
Shaw was jailed for 22 months after pleading guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Bradford Crown Court was told Shaw was seen leaving the road and mounting the pavement in his motorbike to avoid traffic.
As well as a jail sentence, he was also banned from driving for two years, with an 11-month extension, to make a 35-month ban.
Recorder David Gordon said: “You were speeding before you arrived at the bus.
“You should have appreciated that there was a serious risk of someone getting off the bus and that your driving could result in a collision, and it did.
“You tried on one occasion to flee the scene, and you had to be restrained by more than one passer-by.”
