A bus driver says he slowed to a near stop at an intersection west of Melbourne when a truck rammed into the back of his bus, seriously injuring eight students. But another motorist has disputed Graham Stanley’s claims, telling Melbourne Magistrates Court he saw no brake or indicator lights in the lead-up to the May 2023 collision. Stanley was driving 45 students from Exford Primary School in Eynesbury when Jamie Gleeson’s truck crashed into the back of his bus.
The bus driver also said he was either stopped or “inching” when he reached the intersection of Exford and Murphys roads. But David Woods, another motorist who was two cars behind Gleeson’s truck, told the court he did not see the bus’ brakes or indicator lights on. Woods said he had a clear view ahead of him and the bus did not slow down before it suddenly took a sharp right-hand turn.
