Just as the driver was just pulling into the street, a second bus came along and rammed into the back of it.

The vehicle was sent hurtling onto a grassed area where it flipped over.

A man in a red jacket was seen flying out of the windscreen before gingerly getting to his feet and walking over to the wreckage.
