A bus carrying up to 45 children from Exford Primary School collided with a B-double truck about 3:40pm in Eynesbury, which is about 50 kilometres west of Melbourne's CBD.
Seven students remain in a serious condition in hospital with traumatic injuries following a crash between a school bus and a truck on Tuesday afternoon. Picture: Seven News "And three patients are currently receiving spinal support and being monitored carefully in terms of spinal injuries." Traumatised parents were forced to wait several hours before they were able to be reunited with their children who were rushed into surgery.
"It was very calm and very well-controlled and very well responded to last night, so I do want to acknowledge how proud I am of the team that work of The Royal Children's Hospital and the magnificent care they have provided in these sorts of situations." The hospital will provide support to the parents in the coming weeks and months including accommodation and working remotely while they care for their kids.
