It is not every day that you are on social media and met with a video clip that resembles a movie scene where a police vehicle chases a speeding bus full of passengers.
This shocking scene happened in Gauteng when a bus full of Zimbabwean alleged illegal immigrants sped, fleeing away from a Tshwane Metro police vehicle that kept on chasing them.
This dramatic occurrence according to MDN News on X, formerly known as Twitter, occurred cross-border.
A video taken by a passenger inside the bus shows the racing of the two modes of transport on the freeway.
The passengers inside the bus cheered for the bus driver to continue while the bus kept on changing lanes, trying to dodge the police vehicle.
Making it’s way in front of the bus, on the right-hand side of the freeway while a truck drove on the left-hand side, the police vehicle slowed down, nearly getting bumped by the bus from the back.
Refusing to stop, the bus quickly saw a gap on the left-hand side while in full speed and went in front of the truck.
This happened with passengers cheering for the bus driver and the truck driver to shove the police vehicle off the road.
