For Wayne Birkett and Sharon Miller, the morning of 13 June 2023 started like any other.
They both, separately, got ready for work and caught buses into Nottingham city centre, but what happened shortly after would change their lives forever.
They – along with Marcin Gawronski – were struck by a van driven by Valdo Calocane, leaving all three pedestrians seriously injured.
Earlier in the day, Calocane had fatally stabbed Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and caretaker Ian Coates, 65.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Sharon and Wayne have told their stories for the first time and explained how they feel a strong sense of survivor's guilt.
Sharon's day started at home with her partner Martin, who she was looking forward to marrying after more than 30 happy years together.
After finishing her morning cup of tea, the mother of one made her way to the bus stop, ready to catch her daily ride to her job as a cleaner.
It was early in the morning – shortly before 05:00 BST – and her bus was delayed, leaving her worried she would be late for her shift.
Sharon made her way into the city centre and got off the bus as normal, but her journey to work ended as she crossed Market Street.
"I saw the van, and the next minute I'm in the air," she said. "I thought I was dying – all I could see was white."
Sharon was rushed to Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre with life-changing injuries.
"I broke my toe, five ribs, I lacerated my spleen, and I've got a big hole in the back of my leg that got badly infected," she said.
Sharon, 46, now uses a walking stick and, given the physical demands of her job, has been unable to return to work after suffering serious orthopaedic and psychological trauma.
"I'm still in a lot of pain with my leg and my back, but I'm getting there," she said.
Once a happy and sociable person who enjoyed trips out with friends and family, Sharon now only feels safe in the comfort of her own home.
"Martin and my family, and my grandkids make me happy, but I don't like going out," Sharon explained.
"I was never like that before."
Wayne had been on his way to his job as a forklift driver in the city centre when Calocane deliberately swerved across the road and drove into the back of him.
He spent more than six weeks in hospital with complex brain and physical injuries and, unlike Sharon, has no recollection of what happened.
In fact, the 61-year-old struggles to recall any part of his life prior to 13 June 2023.
