Eleven people have been hospitalised after a bus and a car crashed in Sydney’s north-west, in what emergency responders described as a “complex incident”.<\/p>\n

NSW Police, NSW ambulance and Fire and Rescue NSW responded to reports that a bus had collided with the back of a SUV on the M2 Motorway on Khartoum Road at Macquarie Park about 3:30pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A family of five were in the car, and the bus was full of passengers.<\/p>\n

The busy M2 was closed for the rescue operation, with vision from the scene showing multiple emergency personnel assisting people off the bus while treating others on stretchers.<\/p>\n

Inspector Josh Turner from Fire and Rescue NSW said they encountered a “mass patient situation” on arrival, with two people, including the 40-year-old bus driver, in a “serious trap situation” which took some time to get them out.<\/p>\n

“Once the first patient was removed, we then attended the bus driver,” Inspector Turner said.<\/p>\n

“It was quite a tricky rescue … because bus drivers are in some enclosed cabin area and have a lot of technology around them, so it was quite complex to remove them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In the end we did a seat removal and removed him from the back of the driver’s cabin rather than from the side which we first tried to do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People taken to Royal North Shore and Westmead hospitals<\/p>\n

NSW Ambulance had 18 resources at the scene and paramedics assessed 38 people.<\/p>\n

“We had four patients in a stable but serious condition transported to hospital,” Inspector Christian Holmes from NSW Ambulance said.<\/p>\n

“And seven patients in a stable condition with minor injuries transported to hospital.”<\/p>\n

He added that the bus driver and one of the people in the car were among those in a serious but stable condition, while the other four car occupants were part of the seven people with minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Patients were taken to Royal North Shore Hospital and Westmead Hospital, with injuries involving fractures, bruises, lacerations but no one had sustained life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

About 27 bus passengers walked away unharmed.<\/p>\n

“Multiple agencies were required at this and it was a very good outcome in the end that took a lot of co ordination between all agencies at the time,” Inspector Turner said.<\/p>\n

NSW Police officers are investigating the cause of the crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eleven people have been hospitalised after a bus and a car crashed in Sydney’s north-west, in what emergency…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":244213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4740,130075,130078,130082,130081,130079,130080,130076,50,130077,9309,89406,119659],"class_list":{"0":"post-244212","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-bus-and-car-carsh","10":"tag-fire-and-rescue-nsw","11":"tag-inspector-christian-holmes-from-nsw-ambulance","12":"tag-inspector-josh-turner-from-fire-and-rescue-nsw","13":"tag-khartoum-road","14":"tag-m2-motorway-crash","15":"tag-macquarie-park","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nsw-abulance","18":"tag-nsw-police","19":"tag-royal-north-shore-hospital","20":"tag-westmead-hospital"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115243100992574196","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
