Video: Chinese bus driver takes a lamp post to the face

If you're cursing the decrepit state of Britain's roads after the recent cold snap left your high street looking like Baghdad airport runway after the Americans invaded, just be thankful the lamp posts aren't falling over and coming through your windscreen, like they do in China...

This shocking footage, taken from CCTV on a Chinese bus, shows driver Mao Zhihao being thrown back violently after a lamp post crashed through the window, hitting him in the face and chest.
