Three people have died after a bus crash on a major North Queensland highway. The Greyhound bus, with 33 passengers on board, and a car towing a caravan collided on the Bruce Highway at Gumlu, south of Townsville, about 11am on Sunday. Traffic has been backed up following the crash, with the Bruce Highway closed in both directions for several hours. Motorists were advised to avoid the area or expect long delays.
Queensland Police Superintendent Graeme Paine told reporters that the three victims were female. “We haven’t determined any factors that have contributed to the crash at this stage, but certainly a crash of this nature involving this many people is a very significant and very tragic incident for us,” he said. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating. The bus landed on a train line following the crash.
