Several people are injured after a Transperth bus crashes into a tree in Wanneroo, in Perth’s north, according to multiple Australian outlets. Reports say the bus loses control and veers onto the wrong side of a busy road before colliding with a large tree. Emergency services respond at the scene and transport injured passengers for medical treatment.
Most accounts describe seven people injured, with one person reported to be in critical condition. Other reports specify eight people were injured, including a man fighting for life. The West Australian reports a male passenger dies following the crash. Some outlets also mention that there are multiple incidents in Perth on Thursday morning, with passengers receiving varying degrees of injuries.
While the sources differ slightly on the exact number of injured people and whether all details apply to the same crash sequence, they broadly agree on the location in Wanneroo, the involvement of a Transperth bus, and the collision with a tree following a loss of control.
