Three Home and Away characters will be severely impacted in the aftermath of the shocking bus accident.

Hannah Wilson, Kyle Braxton and Leah Patterson-Baker suffer the most serious injuries after being pulled from the wreckage of the bus.

Although the crash hasn't yet aired in the UK, Australian fans have been waiting to see the aftermath of the crash for several weeks after the dramatic scenes played out as part of their series finale.

While most of the crash victims manage to escape relatively unharmed, it soon becomes clear that Hannah is in a very bad way, having been impaled by one of the metal seats.

After being rushed into hospital, Hannah is sent straight into surgery, but is soon faced with the devastating reality that she may never walk again.

Howarth said to TV Week: "One of the metal legs on the bus seats gets jammed in her spine. Hannah is fighting for her life. It's touch and go whether she will survive. The whole thing is horrific for Hannah. It's that inconceivable idea of firstly, will she survive? Then, will she be able to walk? It is hard for her to hang on to hope. Hannah knows what it means to be injured. So, no matter how much Nate assures her she will heal, she knows the facts."

Along with Hannah, Kyle and Leah will also be left facing life-changing injuries following the accident. After being taken to hospital, their families face an agonising wait to see whether or not they pull through.

While Kyle is placed in a coma to help him recover from his injuries, Leah's family are forced to face the reality that she may never wake up.

Airs next week in Australia and in a few weeks in UK.
