Fire and Rescue NSW responds to bus crash - Drummoyne
Published: 22 Jun 2023 03:19pm
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crews today have responded to a bus crash at Drummoyne, in Sydney's inner west.
The vehicle collided with a ute and a car near the intersection of Victoria Road and Lyons Road just before 12:30pm.
The bus then came to rest at an approximately 30-degree angle on top of a metre-high concrete road divider on Victoria Road.
FRNSW firefighters helped free the driver of the ute who was briefly trapped in the wreckage.
They also assisted in righting the bus, deploying stabilisation equipment and a chain pull system.
The bus has since been removed and the area has been declared safe.
Three people were treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene but there are no reports of serious injuries.
Traffic in the area was blocked following the incident.
Both roads are expected to re-open shortly, with further updates available via livetraffic.com
