The 56-year-old bus driver was taken to Bundaberg Hospital with minor injuries for a thorough assessment.

“It was quite an impact, so in those sorts of circumstances we like to make sure that we give patients a proper check over and stuff like that - there’s a lot of things that can hide themselves including respiratory and cardiac contusions from seatbelt injuries,” QAS Wide Bay senior operations supervisor Martin Kelly said.

Martin Kelly said that the cause of the incident seemed to be related to location of the crash being on a narrow road over the crest of a hill, but that QPS would be doing a full investigation.

After making the incident a top priority, QAS backed out resources after determining that there are no significant injuries and the children are all in a stable condition.

“We’ve thrown quite a number of resources at it, and as we’ve done our assessment we’ve backed off on some of those resources - and the kids luckily are all quite good” Mr Kelly said.
