The video footage was taken the moment a flying metal struck a school bus driver while driving on a Washington highway.

Stewart O’Leary was driving a high school basketball team into the game on February 7th. According to Komo News. O’Leary was over 60 mph on Interstate 405 when he was attacked.

Footage of the incident shared by Komo News on YouTube shows O’Leary suddenly jumping through the windshield and driving a bus when the object hits his chest. O’Leary can see him grabbed by the breast and immediately hear him scream. The onboard coach immediately went to check him out.

One of the coaches can be seen driving slowly and instructing O’Leary to pull.

“Okay, I’ll hit the break and put the brakes on. You can hear Crispinder, the head coach of the girls’ junior varsity basketball team at No Creek High School, says on the video. (Related: Wild Video shows a deer jumping over the windshield of a bus).

“It was instantaneous, it was violent,” O’Leary said in an interview with Komo News. “I saw the slices on the windshield, so I got the idea that something came and hit me, and I was covered in glass.”

“I’m happy that it’s me and not a passenger,” he continued. “I kept the girls safe. That’s what the bus driver does – transport students safely – and I did that. I wasn’t injured either of them. I’m very happy about that.”

The bus driver was taken to hospital and treated for fragments of glass hit his face and serious bruises on his chest, the outlet reported.

“I thought it was okay, he told Como.

The Washington State Patrol told Komo News it has yet to determine the origin of the metal fragments.
