Police in China pulled up a 69-seater coach which had travelled 125 miles on a motorway - after it was virtually destroyed in a crash.
The driver and the owner of the coach were sitting in what remained of the front of the coach, wearing raincoats and crash helmets against the cold.
The rear of the bus was also badly damaged - with the engine exposed to the elements and cables trailing along on the road, reports West China Daily.
Two patrolling officers spotted the bus on the Qianyu Expressway and gave chase for several kilometers, before forcing it to stop.
"We were shocked to see such a badly damaged vehicle pass us at high speed on the motorway," said one of the policemen.
"We ordered them to stop, but they drove even faster. We had to drive ahead and force them to pull over," said one of the policemen.
The driver, Chen, and the bus owner, Li, said they had an accident in Tongzi, Guizhou province, and decided to drive the bus to Chongqing to get it repaired.
"We didn't hear the police instructions, as we were so frozen and numb," said Chen.
Police escorted them to the nearest toll gate and fined them 200 Yuan before allowing them to drive slowly on minor roads to the nearest repair shop.
