"I looked over and saw the FedEx truck coming straight for me. He was in flames already," Duran said. "I just started going this way, and he clipped the back end of me…and went on to hit the bus."
KCAL9's Tom Wait reported that the impact sent the couple into a gully near the side of the road.
"It was like a 3D movie. Imagine a Mack truck coming out of a movie, unbelievable. We didn't even have time to react. She did a great job," Joe said.
"It was so scary, we were wondering if anyone was going to get out of there alive," Duran said.
An investigation into the accident is underway.
