A hero passenger stepped in to save a coach full of Pink fans after the driver passed out behind the wheel. Dad-of-two Alex Brewster, 40, was with 51 other passengers travelling from South Lanarkshire to the singer's concert at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, on Saturday June 10.
The bus was on the M74 near Moffat when the Caledonian Travel staff member lost consciousness during roasting 29°C temperatures. The vehicle was driving at a speed of around 70mph. Passengers screamed in terror as the coach began to swerve across the lanes of the motorway while the driver was slumped in his seat.
Alex, from Larkhall, sprang into action and grabbed the wheel of the out-of-control vehicle to steer it away from road barriers, before pulling on the handbrake to slow it down.
He told the Daily Record : "I noticed the bus swerving and jumped up from my seat. I was sitting directly behind the bus driver. Luckily, I'm a qualified bus driver.
"It's just sheer luck that I was there. I dread to think what could have happened that day."
