Double decker bus slides sideways down icy hill

Nail-biting footage shows a double-decker First Bus driver lose control and career down a steep bank sideways in the snow – narrowly missing a car.

The terrifying event happened in Halifax as icy conditions gripped much of northern England earlier this week, postponing COVID vaccinations for many elderly people amid warnings of dangerous driving conditions.

More bad weather is set to batter the UK this weekend, with an 18-hour snow and ice warning for much of northern England and Scotland tomorrow.
