The footage shows the car attempting to overtake a campervan on Indian Ocean Drive in Nilgen on September 25, before it crashed into the oncoming bus.

In the video, the car swerves into the opposite lane while trying to overtake the campervan, before attempting to drop back as the bus appears in its path.

The car edges towards rear of the campervan before it swerves straight into the direction of the oncoming bus, and a voice can be heard saying 'oh, my God'.

The car then swerves sharply to the right, but the bus also moves in the same direction and the two vehicles collide head on.

As the bus plows into the front left-hand side of the Toyota Corolla, the car spins sideways and the bus shakes as its driver regains control of the vehicle.

The RAC Rescue helicopter and ambulance services were called to the scene, but surprisingly no one was injured in the collision, The West Australian reported.

The 26-year-old driver of the Toyota Corolla also had two passengers in their 50s in the car with her at the time of the accident.

Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said while speed and alcohol weren't causal factors in the accident, those in the car were lucky to survive.

'The vision quite clearly shows a very inherently dangerous overtaking incident in which there was a collision between a bus and small vehicle,' he said.

'It is remarkable the driver and two passengers survived that crash and again it is subject to an investigation.'

Bus tour operator Adam Barnard told the publication if it wasn't for the quick actions of the bus driver the accident could have been 'catastrophic'.
