A school bus spun out of control as icy conditions have caused tricky conditions for motorists across the country.
The Stagecoach bus was driving along Chapel Road in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, when it hit an ice patch and started to spin.
The back end of the bus swung around as the double-decker drove down a hill on the residential road.
It then careered onto a grass verge before spinning 180 degrees, hitting another vehicle and coming to a stop.
Temperatures are set to plummet
