The pensioner underwent "numerous" operations to save his leg following the crash in Hamilton town centre.

Norman Hamilton, 58, of Skylands Rise, Hamilton, appeared at the town's sheriff court last week.

He admitted causing the man severe injury, lasting scars and permanent impairment by driving dangerously on Townhead Street on March 14 last year.

Danielle McDonald, prosecuting, said the collision happened around 10.30am when Hamilton was driving a bus with passengers.
