Earlier:

Police are at the scene of a crash between a bus and two cars near Welcome Bay School.

A witness at the scene says the crash happened near Welcome Bay School and Oteki Park Drive, while she was dropping her children off to school.

'The police have just showed up, I didn't see it happen as it occurred just before I came around the corner,” she says.

'There is a bus that has been rear-ended by a people-mover, which has been rear ended by a four-wheel drive.

'Everyone looks ok, there's minor damage to the bus compared to the van which is damaged at the front and rear.

'The four-wheel drive is partially blocking the road, which is slowing traffic because they have to go around it but now that police are there the traffic is settling.”

Once again our NZ drivers dont look ahead more than in front of their nose.Rear ended crashes are the result of that.This will continue until a drivers licence is considered a privelidge rather than a god given right. Crashes occur thanks to our uneducated, unskilled licence holders!


What bus?

Those buses need to be more visible- it's so hard to see the back of a bus...
