Shocking footage has emerged of a car being hit by a bus in South Australia.
Dashcam footage showed a bus crashing into a small silver car in Glenunga, south-east of Adelaide, at the weekend.
The car, driven by an elderly woman, was attempting to turn from Portrush Road onto Bevington Road when it crashed into an oncoming bus and veered into another car stopped at the intersection waiting to turn left.
“Oh no, what happened?” said one woman in disbelief after witnessing the accident.
Footage of the incident was shared on the Facebook group Dashcams Adelaide, with the caption “How did they miss the bus?”
The clip attracted thousands of views and comments.
“I guess they saw the bus but thought they had time to cross,” one onlooker said.
Another added: “I feel sorry for the poor guy who does nothing wrong and still gets hit.”

A third person wrote: ‘It seemed like it was a combination of the person in the car misjudging the distance from the bus… combined with not accelerating enough to make the turn.’
Many said they “felt sorry for the bus driver” and the passengers on board, while others questioned why the driver did not slow down.
The 91-year-old woman driving the car was not seriously injured but was taken to hospital, according to Seven news.
He was later fined for failing to yield.
None of the people on board the bus were seriously injured.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted South Australia Police for further comment.
