A man was sent flying by an out of control bus but got back up immediately and walked into a pub like nothing had happened, video footage shows.

Simon Smith, 53, was knocked to the ground by the careering vehicle on Gun Street in Reading, but CCTV footage then shows him get to his feet moments later and walk into the Purple Turtle bar. He sustained only scratches and bruising despite being thrown about 20ft.

Reading Buses told the BBC it was investigating the "awful incident", which took place on Saturday morning.

It is not known what caused the crash but Thames Valley police said no arrests had been made. An ambulance was called to the scene and the road was closed for about two hours.

Smith told BBC South Today he was lucky to be alive.
