The video shows a bus heading through the foam when a "wave" suddenly picks up and heads towards the officers.
A set of headlights then emerges as a car plows through the other end.
Facebook user Michael Bell uploaded the video on Sunday afternoon.

Winds rushing through the area picked it up and threw it over the nearby intersection. It reached up to three metres in height and was covering the entire road before police arrived to direct traffic around.
