Police in Queensland are investigating an incident on the Gold Coast in which a bus driver loses control after rocks are thrown at the bus’s windscreen. Multiple outlets report that a group of e-bike riders pelted the vehicle with rocks while it was travelling, striking the windscreen. Police say the damage affects the driver’s control of the bus, which then crashes into a nearby tree.
Authorities are now searching for the group involved. The reports describe coordinated action by the riders, rather than a single attacker, and emphasise that investigators are attempting to identify those responsible and determine the circumstances leading up to the crash.
No additional details are provided in the summaries about injuries, the time of day, or the exact location. However, all sources consistently attribute the initial cause of the incident to rocks thrown at the bus windscreen by e-bike riders, followed by the subsequent vehicle crash into a tree.
