Now that's a snow drift! The incredible moment a hero bus driver swerves around an out-of-control car on an icy road and avoids a crash by inches
This is the terrifying moment a bus narrowly avoids crashing into an out-of-control on an icy road.
Gareth Smith saw the bus come over a hill at Frogston Brae, Edinburgh and head straight towards the car that had veered over to the wrong side of the road.
The crash seemed inevitable and Mr Smith can be heard shouting in shock and horror - only for the heroic bus driver to dramatically swerve around the car before also dodging Mr Smiths van.
The astonishing footage shows the hero bus driver avoiding a collision by inches. Mr Smith can be heard yelling: Oh my god, oh my god, no! . He was stuck on a hill in his van when he saw the terrifying near-miss.
The bus driver somehow managed to swerve and drift around the car at the last minute, while also maneuvering his vehicle to avoid colliding with Mr Smith, 22.
A hero bus driver somehow managed to swerve past a stranded Mini on an icy road after the car had lost control and drifted over to the wrong side of the road.
The bus drivers quick thinking and reflexes saved all three vehicles from being involved in a potential fatal tragedy. Mr Smith uploaded the video to Facebook yesterday, with the caption: Stay in people Red snow alert.
The video has now been viewed over 716,000 times and liked over 4,200 times.
The clip begins with what appears to be a Mini slowly moving along the icy road - and within seconds it becomes clear that it is on the wrong side.
The out of control car manages to come to a stop - but moments later a double decker Lothian bus emerges from the heavy snow.
Mr Smith estimated that the bus was going at about 20 or 30 miles an hour at the time.
The driver, despite having very little time to react, managed to swerve past the stricken car before righting his bus so he would avoid the van behind it.
In the clip, Mr Smith managed to reverse his van slightly, in the hope of avoiding a collision, but said he was bracing himself the entire time.
As the bus passes him within inches he can be heard saying no, no in anticipation of a collision.
Fortunately, the bus driver pulls back into the right side of the road - and Mr Smith lets out a huge sigh of relief.
Speaking today, he said: I was stuck on the hill trying to get my van moving when I saw a black car over taking me.
It skidded onto the wrong side of the road and then I then saw a Lothian bus coming down the hill losing control and drifting past the black car, just missing it and me.
The terrifying clip was captured by van driver Gareth Smith who can be heard shouting in shock and horror as the scene plays out. It seemed to skid a far bit.
I put my van into reverse and tried to go backwards to avoid the bus hitting me head on. Kev Robertson joked: Rumour has it the Stig was driving a bus in Edinburgh today. Looks like rumours are correct..
Sammi Aitchison added: That bus driver is something else with that drifting. Anna Grant-Menzies commented: Drifting a double decker like a pro. Hundreds of people were stranded on the M80 in the central belt last night, some for 16 hours.
