Steve O'Connor was driving behind a school bus when he noticed it began to swerve erratically. O'Connor quickly pulled out his phone and started recording as the bus driver and a FedEx truck driver taunted each other in a fit of road rage.
“They were both completely on the other side of the two yellow lines and I couldn’t believe what I saw,” he said.
The bus driver was tailgating in an attempt to pass the truck.
“They were both getting upset at each other," O’Connor recalled. "At that point I said to myself, ‘I think something may happen here.'”
The bus driver tried to pass the truck and immediately went into oncoming traffic. O'Connor shared the video, which went viral. The bus driver has since been fired. Fortunately, there were no children on the bus.
“All I can tell you is the driver was terminated,” the company, Jay's Bus Service told CBS. “Of course safety of the children is our number one concern. However we’re not going to give any interviews in reference to it.”
O'Connor is still reeling from the incident, which only by a miracle he believes didn't result in a horrific accident.
“They were not only completely on the other side of the road, but when they came back over about a second and a half later a car was coming the other way. It could have been a pretty different situation had it happened like a second and a half later,” he said.
