A hero bus driver who spotted a lost toddler running barefoot along a motorway flyover on her route saved the youngster from a possible tragedy.
Heart-stopping CCTV footage from the bus captured Irena Ivic's heroic actions as the small girl, who was just 19-months-old, wandered alone along a pavement just days before Christmas.
Ms Ivic had to do a double take when she saw the child - who was dressed only in a onesie and a nappy in the freezing cold - without an adult in sight, but quickly parked the bus and gave chase.
The mum and former teacher ran across a busy street, stopped traffic and snatched the crying youngster out of harm's way before carrying her back to the bus.
