An investigation is underway after a Greyhound bus collided with a 4WD on the Bruce Highway near Gumlu, killing three people and injuring several others.
A Greyhound bus carrying 33 people and 4WD had been travelling in opposite directions near Gumlu, in the Whitsundays region on Sunday when they collided in a 100km/h zone on the Bruce Highway. Police described the chaotic crash scene as "very, very confronting" with investigations ongoing into the cause of the tragedy.
"We haven't determined any factors that have contributed to the crash at this stage, but certainly a crash of this nature, involving this many people is a very significant, very tragic incident for us." — Queensland Police Superintendent Graeme Paine. The bus was travelling from Brisbane to Townsville, around 1.5 hours from where the crash took place.
