An MTA bus operator was miraculously unharmed after nearly plunging off a Bronx parkway overpass Friday morning, police said.

Videos posted on Citizen shows the front of the bus precariously dangling over the wall, with huge chunks of collapsed stone seen on the roadway below and firefighters gathered at the scene.

The motorist lost control of the bus, missed a turn and skidded over the stone wall of the Henry Hudson Parkway near Kappock Street in Spuyten Duyvil just after 8:40 a.m., authorities said. It’s unclear if there were passengers on the bus. 

The driver was safely extracted from the bus, police said about a half-hour after the collision.

In 2013, four people were killed when a Metro-North train derailed after taking a sharp curve at almost three times the speed limit just north of the Spuyten Duyvil station.
