Shocking footage has emerged of a bus driver appearing to smoke cannabis while driving a bus before he crashes into a home in Sydney's west.
The Penrith Magistrate's Court today released dramatic CCTV footage bus driver Shaun Murphy, 57, taking what is believed to be synthetic cannabis from a bag, putting it in a pipe, and then lighting it up and inhaling it.

Then he falls asleep before losing control and slams into the side of a house at Glenmore Park on June 15.
Two adults and three children were in the home at the time but luckily escaped injury.
Mr Murphy appeared in court on Wednesday afternoon and pleaded guilty to reckless driving and driving under the influence of illicit drugs.
Mr Murphy had methamphetamine and morphine in his blood system at the time.
But despite the accident, he has not been charged with using the drug, believed to be synthetic cannabis, which had an undetermined legal status.
The driver will be sentenced in court on Thursday
