Surveillance cameras recorded the moment the Greek bus collided with the height limiter in front of the Union Passage.

The bus, which had changed lanes shortly before and practically bypassed the signal with chains at the maximum permissible driving height, was traveling at a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour.

The footage shows how the air conditioning system on the roof of the bus hangs over the bumper, which practically falls onto the roof in the middle of the carriage, crushing the passengers below.

The video shows how easily the bumper moved, but it did not come off completely with the bus, but remained attached and acted as a trap.

Antena 3 reports that the driver said he braked suddenly when he felt he hit something with the bus.

A few seconds after the impact, cars stop nearby and try to offer help, reports Digi24.
