School bus collides with truck, flips
Three people were injured - including a child - and a bus driver was trapped for more than an hour after a school bus collided with a truck and flipped in Victoria's northwest. The bus, travelling to a special development school, collided with the B-double truck about 8.30am on Thursday at the intersection of Warracknabeal-Stawell Rd and Minyip-Dimboola Rd in Minyip. There were three children on board at the time, one who sustained minor injuries, a police spokesman told NewsWire, as well as a staff member from the school and a driver. A Department of Education spokesman said two of the children were transported to hospital for observation, with the third being 'otherwise well'. The female driver was trapped on board the bus for more than an hour before she was freed by emergency services about 9.45am. She was taken to the Alfred Hospital with serious injuries. The truck driver sustained minor injuries in the incident and was taken to Horsham Hospital. The truck had been carrying a full load of hay at the time of the crash. Six Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics were on the scene, alongside specialist Air Ambulance Victoria helicopter crew.

'Additional wellbeing support is available to students and staff at Warracknabeal SDS, Warracknabeal Secondary College and Warracknabeal Primary School – and all families have been informed of the accident,' they said.

NSW Police arrest 29-year-old man for allegedly stealing a grocery truck in Sydney
Police have tasered and arrested a young man following a wild and dangerous pursuit through western Sydney. The chaos kicked off about 6am at Bankstown, NSW Police allege, when a 29-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 23-year-old Woolworths truck driver with a stun device on Olympic Parade. The man then stole the Woolies truck and drove off, police allege. Police then say they spotted the truck about 9am travelling along the Princes Highway at Rockdale. 'When the driver allegedly failed to stop when directed, a pursuit was initiated,' police said. 'The pursuit continued at Wolli Creek, where the truck allegedly hit four parked cars but did not stop.' The chase was paused out of safety concerns, with the man seen continuing onto the M8. A police chopper tracked the truck as it travelled westbound onto the M4. 'The truck continued to travel on the M4 for some time before police successfully deployed road spikes at the Great Western Highway at Glenbrook,' police said. 'The truck came to a stop a short time later at Blaxland and the driver was arrested following the deployment of a Taser, with the assistance of the dog unit and the public order and riot squad.' Police took the man to Springwood Police Station and later to Nepean Hospital, where he was checked for minor injuries sustained during the arrest. Paramedics took the grocery truck driver to Bankstown Hospital for treatment. Inquiries into the incident were ongoing, police said.
