A major accident involving three vehicles during Wednesday's afternoon peak hour has left multiple people hospitalised.
Two buses packed with evening commuters, and a private car, have crashed in Sydney's southwest on Wednesday afternoon, with up to a dozen people hospitalised and a total of 25 injured.
A bus carrying scores of passengers is understood to have first hit a car parked along Seventh Avenue, before crashing into another bus travelling along the street, which was also packed with commuters. Vision from the operation showed one bus completely smashed from the front, with a shattered windscreen, driver's compartment, and ripped out bumper.
"A number of passengers are being assessed and treated by ambulance paramedics; however, the number of people injured isn’t yet known. There are not believed to be any serious injuries," it said. According to early reports by media, about a dozen people had been taken to different hospitals around Sydney for medical intervention and that a total of 25 people - all passengers of the bus - had been treated by paramedics on site.
