What we know so far is that this bus was travelling from Melbourne and on its way to Canberra.
00:07
It had around 40 passengers on it when it was travelling on the Hume Highway just around
00:12
3am.
00:13
Emergency services were called shortly after to the Hume Highway at Kayemba which is around
00:19
50km south of Wagga Wagga following reports of a crash.
00:24
School officers arrived at the scene to see that the bus and a heavy vehicle had collided.
00:31
Now NSW Ambulance Paramedics arrived on the scene as well and attended to the driver of
00:37
the bus but unfortunately he died at the scene.
00:40
It's believed he was 32 years of age.
00:43
Now crash investigators have been on the scene since early this morning trying to prepare
00:47
a report for the coroner.
00:49
NSW Police have told us that an investigation is underway to see what was the cause of this
00:56
fatal crash.
00:57
But what they do know is that both vehicles were travelling north in the same lane.
01:04
Early indications are both the semi-trailer and the bus were travelling in the same lane
01:11
and it appears from early indications the bus has collided with the rear of the semi-trailer
01:19
as it went up a steep incline here at Kayemba Gap.

01:42
which is believed to be the most severe have been transported to Albury Hospital.
01:47
Now one man it's believed he has a broken leg but most of the injuries are pretty not
01:55
as severe which is a good thing police are saying.
01:58
Police told us that this could have been a mass casualty event and you know it's a horrific
02:05
