Cameras record bus driver flying through windshield during terrifying accident


Multiple security cameras set up on an Albuquerque city bus recorded a horrifying accident that resulted in the driver crashing through the windshield.
Police told ABC affiliate KOAT that a pickup truck driver ran a red light and collided with the bus. Several cameras on board caught the driver trying to gain control of the bus before it hit a post. Upon impact, the driver was thrown halfway out of the smashed windshield, but was able to immediately get up and radio for help. Amazingly, both the truck and bus drivers suffered just minor injuries. --Catherine Garcia
