A truck driver accused of crashing into a school bus with dozens of children on board wants eight students to give evidence about the seriousness of their injuries.
Russell is accused of ignoring warning signs to brake and rear-ending the school bus, forcing it to roll down an embankment off the Western Highway at Pentland Hills, west of Melbourne, on September 21. Russell, who is on bail, appeared via video link for a hearing at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, where his lawyer requested eight children give evidence about the seriousness of their injuries.Barrister John Lavery applied for the children and some medical specialists to be called as witnesses at a contested hearing later this year.Advertisement
