A Chinese bus driver has been arrested after crashing through a safety barrier while allegedly using his mobile phone.
The bus came to rest against a metro barrier which stopped it plunging to the ground 20ft below, reports Shenzhen Daily.
The driver and five passengers had to crawl carefully to the back of the bus and climb out through a window.
Police in Luohu, Guangdong province, arrested the driver for endangering public safety and seized the bus as evidence.
A janitor said he saw the bus driver using his mobile phone at the wheel immediately before the accident.
One witness, Mr Liu, said many people who were waiting to get on the bus had to dive for their lives to get out of the way.
"Someone shouted run and then people scattered in all directions as they saw the bus shooting towards them at a high speed," he said.
Two people who were waiting for the bus, an 80-year-old pensioner and a man in his 40s, were knocked down and needed hospital treatment
