Video: Deft bus driver narrowly dodges decapitation

ZHEIJANG, China — A bus driver’s quick reflexes saved the lives of his passengers— and his own — when a lamppost came crashing through his windscreen.

Mao Zhihao, 44, was driving along a busy dual carriageway in eastern China’s Zheijang province when a crash on the opposite lane sent the post tumbling into his path.

He narrowly escaped being killed by leaping to one side as the metal pole pierced the windscreen at high speed, but not before bravely taking evasive action to avoid the full force of the impact.
