A crane has been called in to help retrieve the bus, which toppled after driving through a large puddle in wet conditions.

The operation to pull it back on track is expected to take a few hours.

Vision from the crash also shows a large plume of smoke going into the air after the bus slammed into a guide rail.

The driver of the bus was not injured and there were no passengers on board at the time.

Adelaide Metro have launched an investigation into the crash, with engineers on site to assess the damage to both the vehicle and the track.

South Aussies have been quick to react to the incident, which is the latest in a string of crashes on the iconic busway.

One social media user said “Just waiting for a mate”, while another said “Can’t park there”.

It came at the same time as multiple multi-vehicle crashes on Adelaide roads.
