    NSW police looking for witnesseses to this

    Bus driver of school bus pulls out in front of Semi on M5 yesterday
    NSW police are seeking witnesses to come forward.
    Could have been messy with alleged 20 children on board.

    Police have released CCTV footage of a near miss between a bus carrying school children and a truck on the M5 at Hammondville yesterday, and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
    About 7.50am yesterday (Thursday 1 June 2017), a bus carrying approximately 20 school children, allegedly pulled out in front of a semi trailer on the M5 causing the driver of the truck to brake heavily and jack-knife in order to avoid a collision.
    Following the incident, passing motorists flagged down the bus driver and alerted police.
    Officers from Liverpool Local Area Command spoke with the bus driver, a 59-year-old man, and commenced investigations.
    The truck driver has also since been identified by police.
    As investigations continue, officers have released CCTV footage of the incident and are appealing for any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police to come forward.

    That could have been a shocker. I can't imagine what the Bus Driver was thinking. He could have used the slip Lane.
    The Truck Driver did a great job, even better if he didn't have to change his undies.
    Cheers, Billy.

    Exactly! My very first thought when I saw this in the online paper was; What was wrong with the slip lane?

    I feel for the poor bloody truckie. Had this gone bad I'd bet a fair part of the unthinking community would be blaming him.

    Without the cctv footage he would definatly have gotten the blame if he had hit the bus. Lucky kids

    It's amazing of the skill of the semi driver, to pull up like that, it could have been very nasty.
    Too right about the cam, as said without footage the poor trucky would have surely got the blame for running up the rear bus., like not keeping a safe distance. On the roads these days you just got to expect the unexpected and be on the look out.

    No collision but plenty of damage, all that smoke is at least eleven grands worth of tyres wrecked. There could be panel damage to the back of the cab and/or the front of the trailer also.
    Dunno what the bus driver was thinking, why was he in the exit lane, sure as, there's no bus stop there.
    It's clowns like him that give all heavy vehicle drivers a bad rap.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
