EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (FOX 9) - A driver spotted a school bus sliding across icy roads in Eden Prairie, Minnesota on Saturday.
In a Facebook post, the man who recorded the video, Neil D. Marriott, says he was on Eden Prairie Road near Highway 5 when the bus started sliding downhill towards his car. The video shows the bus sidewards sliding through the intersection.
According to Marriott, the bus was also hauling a trailer. Marriott says he was forced to steer his car out of the way of the bus. He says the bus eventually came to a stop and continued on its way.

The near-crash was just one of dozens and dozens across the state as winter weather swept over Minnesota.
