Two passengers saved more than 30 people on board a coach after the driver fainted during the journey.

The coach was travelling through East China when passengers noticed the bus had dangerously swayed over to the verge of the highway.

A 45-year-old businessman, Xie Shangpan, was one of the rescuers who leapt into action when he noticed something was wrong.

In a brave move, he rushed to the driver’s seat and managed to take control of the bus, pulling it over to the side of the road before any accident could take place.

Security footage from the bus shows the driver lose consciousness and fall sideways from his seat, held in only by his seat belt.

The driver had to be revived with CPR and was sent straight to hospital after emergency services arrived.

All of the passengers were unharmed.

It was reported the bus driver, Li Ming, suffered a stroke after driving 17 hours non-stop from Pingyang, Zhejiang Province.
