Manchester Arena inquiry: Bomb like being hit by truck, says survivor

(BBC) A survivor of the Manchester attack who was standing just metres away from the bomber has described the blast as like “being hit by a 10 tonne truck.”

Martin Hibbert was left paralysed from the waist down after the 2017 atrocity while his teenage daughter Eve suffered a serious brain injury.

He told the public inquiry into the bombing how two hours passed before they arrived at hospital.

Twenty-two people died and hundreds more were injured in the suicide bombing at the end of an Ariana Grande concert.
