The Prime Minister has issued an emotional message to the students who suffered multiple traumatic injuries following a bus and truck crash.
At least seven students suffered multiple injuries, including amputation, following the accident that unfolded on Tuesday afternoon about 50km west of Melbourne's CBD.
"With the injuries that have been sustained, my heart goes out to them and their families at what must be an extraordinarily difficult time." "And once again as well, we owe our thanks to the medical professionals, to the ambulance personnel, to the paramedics, to the doctors, the nurses," he said. Firefighters worked to extricate several others who were trapped before a number of ambulance crews transported 11 students and one adult to hospital.
"Children have suffered multiple and traumatic injuries, including partial and complete amputations of arms, multiple crushed limb injuries, severe lacerations to head and body, glass shard injuries," Ms McDonald said after a briefing on Wednesday. Ms McDonald praised the doctors and nurses, as well as specialist plastic and vascular surgeons from The Royal Melbourne, who worked tirelessly on the children.
