This is the heartstopping moment a pickup truck ploughed into the side of a bus at high speed in New York.
The truck became embedded in the Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (Centro) bus after it careered off the highway in Syracuse, local police said.
Several passengers were injured in the smash but none were seriously hurt.
Shocking footage shows the truck veer off the road onto a grassy bank after it apparently swerved violently to stop hitting traffic.
Surveillance video released by Centro shows unsuspecting passengers on the bus moments before the truck ploughs in from the side.
The impact of the crash threw them from one side of the vehicle to the other. The crash took place on January 19.
The Syracuse Police Department said the 54-year-old bus driver was taken to hospital for chest pain along with several passengers.
The 82-year-old truck driver was not injured but his 75-year-old wife also suffered chest pains.
