A 22-year-old man is recovering in hospital after his legs were crushed during a crash involving a bus and a car at Matraville on Sunday.
The crash happened shortly before 5.30pm at the intersection of Bumborah Point Rd and Botany Rd.
The crash involved a bus — which was not carrying any passengers — and a Holden Commodore.
A passenger in the Holden was trapped following the crash and had to be freed before being taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a serious condition.
He is currently recovering in hospital and is in a stable condition, as of noon on Monday.
A NSW Ambulance spokesman said the 22-year-old passenger’s legs were “crushed” in the crash and he suffered significant lower body injuries.

However, his injuries were not life threatening and he was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a stable condition.
The driver of the bus, a 53-year-old man, was not injured in the crash.
Botany Rd was closed westbound following the serious collision. Police are continuing inquiries into the crash.
