New footage shows the moment a school bus careened off the road and smashed through a mobile home in rural South Carolina. 

Video released on Tuesday by Greenville County Schools shows the moments leading up to the April 15 crash.

The bus veers into the grass on the right side of the road and overcorrects left, plowing into a yard and taking out a fence and a mailbox in the process.

The vehicle only comes to a stop after slamming through the wall of a mobile home. 

An angle from inside the bus shows the driver topple from her seat after the bus crosses into the yard, losing control of the steering wheel.

Another angle shows the two students on board being violently jostled by the impact.

Luckily no injuries were reported, and no one was inside the home at the time of the crash.

A representative from the district confirmed that the driver is no longer employed with Greenville County Schools.

According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver was travelling west on Stamey Valley Road, near the tiny city of Travelers Rest, when she was navigating a curve and went off the road. She was ticketed for speeding.

In September, a deadly crash sparked a nationwide conversation about school bus safety.

Two adults died and six high school students were left in critical condition after a charter bus toppled off an embankment in upstate New York.

The bus was carrying students to band camp when it left the roadway and tumbled down a 50-foot ravine, coming to rest on its side.

Governor Kathy Hochul described the incident as 'a day of terror' for the four adults and 40 students on board. She said a faulty front tire 'likely contributed to the accident.'  

In the aftermath, Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Pat Ryan beseeched the Federal Highway Administration for help in building an emergency vehicles-only access road.

They said the bus crash evidenced the lack of access for responders and noted that the accident was just the latest to occur on that stretch of the bustling highway.
