SYDNEY, Australia (WTVD) -- Australian investigators say a bus driver is seen in surveillance video smoking synthetic marijuana just before he lost control of the huge vehicle and crashed into a family home.

The video shows the man lighting up and then having trouble steering before he passes out.

He smashed through two fences with the 35-ton vehicle before hitting the home - narrowly missing a woman and her children.

The bus driver pleaded guilty to reckless driving and driving under the influence.
