A BUS driver has found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place at the top of Burleigh Hill this morning.

The Brisbane Bus Lines driver was attempting to turn around in a driveway when the bus “bottomed out” and became unable to move.

He had been stuck there since 9.30am after dropping off his passengers on the foreshore.

A spokeswoman for the company said it was the first time she could recall it happening.

“The camber of the road has not been very nice to us and the vehicle has essentially bottomed out because of it,” she said.

“Our drivers have been liaising with the residents at the entrance to the unit there that they’re probably blocking, we’re doing the best we can.”

Finally, after five hours, tow trucks managed to manouver the bus out of the tight street.

The spokeswoman thanked the tow truck crew for their efforts.

The driver was unharmed, if a little red-faced.
