Video footage shows the damage after two Disney World buses collided on Friday, Dec. 5.

Two buses transporting tourists around the Disney World Resort collided on a busy street last week, and the damage was caught on video.

Ember Donley, a guest visiting the Orlando, Fla. parks, was riding one of the resort’s complementary buses to the Animal Kingdom on Friday, Dec. 5. When the bus turned onto Buena Vista Drive — a main roadway connecting many of Disney World’s parks and hotels — she began to notice “a little more traffic.”

“We noticed that there was something going on in front of us, which is when I got my camera out,” Donley tells PEOPLE over email. “That was when we saw the Mickey Mouse bus smashed into the Minnie Mouse bus.”

Donley adds that she saw a white car in front of the two buses that seemed “to be hit from the impact the Minnie Mouse bus took.”

In Donley’s video, which she shared with PEOPLE, her bus slowly passes the scene of the crash. A Disney World transportation services vehicle is seen parked behind the buses responding to the incident. When Donley's bus drove closer and she got a view of the real damage.

“The windshield of the Mickey Mouse bus was completely smashed in, and there was a lot of dust of some sort on the ground that looked like it was from the back of the Minnie Mouse bus,” Donley says.

As Donley’s bus passed the scene of the crash, authorities wearing neon green vests were seen inside the Mickey Mouse bus seemingly assessing the damage. A police car was also present, but a department name could not be made out in the video.

According to Donley, it appeared the crash occurred when the “Mickey Mouse bus was trying to switch lanes and rear ended the Minnie Mouse bus pretty hard.”

The witness, who initially shared her video on TikTok, said she received "multiple comments saying that the Minnie Mouse bus was totaled.”

One commenter claims her family member was driving the white sedan that was rear ended..

“That’s my dad in the blue shirt!” a TikTok user named Haley said. “The one bus hit the other one (must have been going pretty fast) and pushed that bus into our car! Everyone was okay, just really shaken up. It was scary!”
