Crane driver rescues passengers trapped in sinking bus

This is the astonishing moment a heroic crane driver rescued all the passengers on board a bus which was sinking fast after plunging into a river.

The dramatic security camera footage, captured in Changzhou City on January 3, shows the bus colliding with a car, crash through the roadside barrier and fall into the deep river with a large splash.

The quick-thinking crane driver - who happens to be parked directly opposite - back his vehicle across the road and uses his crane to haul all four passengers to safety.
