Flying Car Hits Bus In Japan Leaving One Dead, 45 Injured

What should have been an entertaining day trip has turned into a nightmare, in the blink of an eye, for the passengers of a bus that was hit by a speeding car.

The shocking dashcam footage shows a hatchback going airborne all of a sudden, flying over the guardrail to the other side of the road and hitting the bus, which then rolled into a ditch before coming to a complete stop.

When emergency services arrived at the scene, it was too late for the 62-year old driver of the car, who was pronounced dead at the scene, reports JapanNews. 45 occupants of the bus, which was carrying 44 passengers, one tour guide, one conductor and the driver, sustained non life-threatening injuries.

The accident, whose cause has yet to be revealed, happened last Saturday morning on the Tomei Expressway, in Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, as the bus was taking its occupants to a cherry-picking day trip, from Toyokawa, Aichi, to the Yamanashi Prefecture.
