Dramatic footage has captured the nerve-shredding moment a bus veered off road and smashed into a train in Texas. Three people were injured in the collision, while the driver was brought to the hospital in a critical condition.

The driver of the bus reportedly blacked out due to a medical episode, causing him to drift 200 yards (182 meters) across a gravel embankment and onto the railway tracks before crashing into the Union Pacific train.
