Woman trapped after car and bus collide in rain Wet and wild crash

This was the dramatic aftermath of a crash between a bus and a car at Kingswood on Tuesday morning. Thankfully despite the frightening image, the woman inside the car was not seriously injured. She was trapped for a short time but freed by emergency services.

The accident happened in wet conditions on the Great Western Highway near O’Connell Street, with the bus on its route to Penrith via Western Sydney University with less than a handful of passengers on board.

The car involved careered off the road, through several fences and came to a rest in the front yard of a house, on its side. The car was later towed away, while a heavy tow was called in to remove the bus from the scene.

Penrith to have say on flight path plan

A spokeswoman for the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister, Catherine King, said more sessions would be added soon.

“It has always been clear that the list of events on the website is not a final list. Details for a session in the Penrith area are being finalised,” she said.

“The Department is consulting with the community over the preliminary flight paths which were released last week.

“It is why the preliminary flight paths were released early, and why the release was accompanied by the noise tool which provides residents with a good idea of how they may be affected.”

McIntosh said residents in the Penrith area deserved to be consulted openly about the flight paths and Penrith should be a priority.

“I have always supported Western Sydney International Airport for the jobs, infrastructure and opportunities it will bring western Sydney,” McIntosh said.

“Now, the Albanese Labor Government is responsible for the flight path design and consultation process, and I want to ensure our community is engaged in a true consultation process where our concerns are heard. We deserve fair and balanced flight paths.”

There were extensive traffic delays on the Great Western Highway with two of three westbound lanes closed for some time. It wasn’t the only crash in the local area on Tuesday morning as wet conditions kept emergency crews busy. Crews responded to a single vehicle crash on Harris Street at Jamisontown shortly after the Kingswood incident. A car had crashed into a power pole, but nobody was hurt.

King said McIntosh “would be well aware” that community consultations are not finalised for all locations as she received briefings before and after the preliminary flight paths were released.
