…By Judah Olanisebee for TDPel Media. Tragic Accident: School Bus Driver Fatally Collides with Two Camels
A school bus driver in central Queensland lost their life after colliding with two camels.
The incident occurred on Emu Park Road in Nankin, near Rockhampton, early Monday morning at around 5:15 am.
The impact of the collision caused the bus to veer off the road and crash down an embankment, resulting in the driver’s death.
An investigation has been initiated into the matter, led by Detective Acting Inspector Luke Peachey from Capricorn Crime Group.
According to Inspector Peachey, it appears that the bus collided with the camels, leading to the tragic outcome.
The forensic crash unit will be involved in the investigation, which is expected to be a thorough and time-consuming process.
The thoughts of the authorities are with the family and friends of the bus driver during this difficult time.
Camel racer and breeder, John Richardson, confirmed that the camels involved in the incident belonged to him.
He expressed his deep sadness and offered his condolences to the family of the bus driver.
The exact details of the circumstances leading to the collision are still under investigation.
A nearby motorist who passed the crash site alerted emergency services about the incident.
It remains unclear how long the bus had been lodged in the embankment before its discovery.
As authorities continue to gather evidence and examine the scene, Emu Park Road near Thompson Point Road has been temporarily closed in both directions.
This tragic accident serves as a reminder of the unforeseen dangers that can arise on the roads, even in unexpected circumstances.
Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the school bus driver who lost their life in this devastating incident.
