A victim of the 2017 Westminster terror attack was "completely unaware" of the vehicle speeding towards her, an inquest into the attack has heard.
Khalid Masood ran down and killed four people on Westminster Bridge before stabbing a policeman to death.
Mother-of-two Aysha Frade was thrown 17m into the path of an oncoming bus after being hit by Masood.
The court heard Ms Frade, on her way to pick up her children from school, was on her phone at the moment of impact.
Those killed in the attack on 22 March last year were Kurt Cochran, 54, Leslie Rhodes, 75, Ms Frade, 44, and Andreea Cristea, 31.
Masood was shot dead at the scene by armed police officers.
CCTV footage of the moment the car hit Ms Frade, who worked as a PA at independent sixth-form DLD College London, was shown during the third day of the inquest.
It showed her being thrown into the air and propelled forwards under the rear side of the bus.
Ms Frade's husband and two sisters closed their eyes as the footage was played.
Ms Frade, who did not turn around before being hit, was seen falling under the rear wheel of the bus, which was seen to brake.
The footage subsequently captured a man banging on the side of the bus and someone else getting off it and approaching Ms Frade.
The court heard Ms Frade's husband called her phone shortly after she had been hit. A bystander answered.
"There's been a terrible accident" he told him.

Witness Rob Lyon, who answered Ms Frade's phone, had been in London for an interview and was crossing the bridge with two colleagues.
He told the court one colleague had shouted "get out of the way" and how he then "heard a crunch sound" and "very high revving of an engine".
He described seeing "three people being hit by the car" before hearing "noises, bangs, shouts and next thing I remember is being in the road".
He went on: "Initially I was frozen. I just remember trying to slow the bus down because I could see it was going to run over Aysha.
"I was just completely in shock."
MET POLICE/SOCIAL MEDIA
One man stood over Ms Frade until a paramedic arrived on a motorcycle around five minutes after she was first hit.
The paramedic, who told the court he arrived at the scene two minutes after receiving the relevant call, knew instantly Ms Frade was dead as her condition was "unequivocal, incompatible with life".
The lawyer for the family said graphic photos and videos had been posted on the internet of her body by those on the bridge, causing "real distress to the family".
In a 999 call played to the Old Bailey, a man described the aftermath of the attack, saying: "There's been a serious accident on Westminster Bridge. About four or five people have been run over."
He went on to say there were "six or seven" casualties, adding: "There's actually a woman underneath a bus.
"I think she's dead. I think she's dead."
'Horrific injuries'
A police officer broke down in tears as she gave evidence about the incident.
PC Kirsty Bamborough had been deployed to the bridge that day and was involved in securing the scene around Ms Frade.
She went through the victim's bag and found a letter from her children's school. She contacted the school to tell them what happened.
When it was put to PC Bamborough that she had seen "horrific injuries" suffered by Ms Frade, she agreed and started crying.
Earlier, the inquest heard how Mr Rhodes was taken in an ambulance to Kings College Hospital in south London after also being hit during the attack.
Consultant Dr Simon Calvert told the inquest he considered surgery for Mr Rhodes but concluded that his injuries were "likely to be unsurvivable".
The retired window cleaner was transferred to intensive care and died the following evening.
The inquest is set to last about five weeks. A separate inquest into the death of Masood will be held but only once the one into his victims' deaths has concluded.
The coroner is expected to examine Masood's background, police records, and look into the fact that he briefly featured in MI5 investigations in 2009 and 2010. The absence of armed officers at the scene will also be examined.
