A woman chucked hot water on a bus driver after she missed her stop in southern China.

The shocking video, filmed in Shaoyang City in Hunan Province on January 15, shows Ms Zhang twisting her water bottle to open and throwing the hot water inside onto the bus driver’s hand.

Then the bus loses control and crashes into the embankment on the side of the road.

According to reports, Zhang asked the driver to stop in the middle of the road after she missed her stop.

After she was refused, the angry woman threw the hot water in her bottle to the driver's hand.

Police restrained Zhang and sent an injured passenger and the driver to hospital.

Zhang was detained and the case was being investigated.
