A bus driver is fighting for his life and a child among more than ten passengers is injured when two buses collide.
The crash happened on Seventh Avenue in Campsie, south-west Sydney, at 4.20pm on Wednesday, with emergency services rushing to the scene.
NSW Police say one bus rear-ended another, causing the second bus to crash into three parked cars. The cause of the incident remains unknown.
A bus driver, a 63-year-old woman and a female passenger were trapped in one vehicle as firefighters pried open a shattered windshield to rescue them.
The female bus driver was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being transported to St George Hospital in a critical condition.
The female passenger in her 50s suffered serious spinal injuries and was rushed to hospital for treatment.
