Court hears conflicting accounts over lead-up to Victorian school bus crash that left eight children with life-threatening injuries

Truck driver Jamie Gleeson faces 11 charges over collision with Exford primary school bus in Eynesbury

A bus driver says he slowed to a near stop at an intersection west of Melbourne when a truck rammed into the back of his bus, seriously injuring eight students, a court has heard.

But another motorist has disputed Graham Stanley’s claims, telling the Melbourne magistrates court he saw no brake or indicator lights in the lead-up to the May 2023 collision in which a truck crashed into the back of the bus.
