A driver, with a record for speeding in and around New Mexico, was believed to be going upwards of 175 kilometres per hour when he suddenly crashed into a school bus.
A total of 23 middle-school children, aged 11 to 13, were on the bus at the time.
Thankfully, everyone survived, although seven were rushed to hospital and two were severely injured.
US police released a video from the perspective of inside the bus, capturing the horrible moment when the students started screaming as they were flung around.
