A coach driver has smashed into a power pole and six other vehicles after he suffered an epileptic seizure behind the wheel.

CCTV footage showed the vehicle suddenly veering onto the pavement before ramming several parked cars and the utility pole.

Even after ramming a truck across the width of the road, the driver continued careering along the pavement.

The coach eventually smashed into the metal barriers outside the bus station at the far end.

It reportedly damaged the truck and parked car as well as two buses, a special service vehicle, and a motorbike.

It also damaged a house on the street and knocked down a utility pole.

The accident took place in the Colombian capital Bogotá at around 6.17 am yesterday (18 Mar).

It paralysed traffic in the city centre for several hours.

Four people were reportedly injured in the incident, including the motorcyclist who is said to be in serious condition in hospital.

Eyewitnesses said the bus driver appeared to suffer a health problem when he lost control of the vehicle, as reported by Need To Know.

Police spokesperson Colonel Pascual González later confirmed the driver had suffered “an epileptic seizure”.

The coach driver sustained multiple “highly complex” injuries and was taken to the Kennedy Hospital for urgent treatment.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing.
