Medical staff at the hospital described her condition as critical.

Constable Karen McCann, of Dumbarton road policing department, said: "A number of people stopped to assist at the crash and we have spoken to a number of people travelling behind the bus at the time, however we are keen to hear from witnesses, or indeed anyone with dash-cam footage, who were travelling south towards Dumbarton and who saw the crash take place."
