This bus got stuck in a hole while negotiating its way around road works.
The 5A was turning around at the junction of Old London Road and Ladies' Mile Road, Patcham, when its rear wheels fell into the works.
Workmen put boards beneath the wheels so the bus driver from Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company, could manoeuvre his vehicle out.
There was traffic chaos for 30 minutes until the workers managed to free the bus from the works, which are being carried out to create a traffic island.
Ray Rathbone, 44, from Patcham, watched the drama. He said: "This island makes it nearly impossible for any bus to turn around. It is causing chaos in the village and everyone is up in arms about it."
The accident happened at 11.40am yesterday.
