This is the terrifying moment a bus full of passengers were trapped on a narrow mountain road - yards from a landslide. <br /><br />The coach was travelling along the hilly road on November 4 in Benguet, the Philippines. <br /><br />As the driver approached the bend, he noticed a rumbling ahead and stopped the vehicle while passengers looked on anxiously. <br /><br />Suddenly the mountainside gave way and several tonnes of dirt, rocks and uprooted trees came crashing down - sparking screams from the passengers onboard.<br /><br />The driver frantically tried to reverse as the rocks struck the bus, but with several cars pulled up behind him waiting the vehicle was stuck.<br /><br />Miraculously nobody was injured after the landslide in the disaster-hit region of the Luzon Island, the most northern part of the Philippines. <br /><br />One passenger said: ''We heard a rumble that was slowly getting louder like it was coming near so we knew there would be a landslide. <br /><br />''The driver decided to stop. What we didn't expect is that it would be that bad. We had fine weather that day.<br /><br />''The bus driver was not able to reverse the vehicle right away because there were cars behind. It was very, very scary. I'm thanksful nobody was hurt.''<br /><br />Several people were killed last week when Typhoon Yutu swept across the region bringing 87mph winds and 142mph gusts.<br /><br />It came six weeks after super typhoon Ompong (Mangkhut) caused nearly 50 landslides in the Cordilleras, killing more than 70 people.
