A police spokeswoman said the incident occurred just before 9am near the intersection with Jeffcoates Rd. The road was blocked for a short time.

Go Bus chief operating officer Nigel Piper said no passengers were on board at the time of the collision, as it was a school bus that had completed its morning school service.
