Dublin Bus - Roof ripped off a double decker

Today on my bus to school, I saw this through the window. Some of the video looks a bit blurry, I forgot to wipe the window. The roof of the bus can be seen behind it.

This happened on Amiens Street near the Five Lamps. Apparently the bus crashed into a tree around 08:00 ( I made this video at around 08:20) and the roof was ripped off . There were 10 passengers on board but they were all seated downstairs so nobody was hurt. The driver was later treated in hospital for shock. I think the tree in the background (beside the roof) was the one the bus crashed into.
