This CCTV footage shows passengers riding the bus on a snowy day in Turkey. All seems normal until -- to the passengers horror -- a truck slams into the side of the bus. The windows implode as the bus skids off the road. And when its all over -- the driver stumbles down the stairs to safety. No one was killed in the accident -- but a total of 18 passengers were injured and are being treated at a local hospital. Roadway accidents are common in Turkey -- and thousands die each year due to poor road conditions and reckless driving.
