Police have praised the quick actions of a truck driver who prevented what could have been a “catastrophic” collision with a school bus in Sydney, with moves now underway to charge the bus driver.
Frightening footage released by police shows the bus – carrying 15 students – pulling onto the M5 into the path of the semi-trailer after 7.30am on Thursday.
The truck driver jumped on the brakes with his semi jackknifing and skidding to a halt in a plume of white smoke. The bus continued down the motorway.
“I have no doubt the truck driver’s actions have prevented what could have been a catastrophic motor-vehicle accident,” Detective Inspector Dean Johnstone told AAP on Friday.
