A school minibus has rolled over in a crash in NSW’s Hawkesbury region.
The bus was carrying six children when it collided with a dark grey ute and was overturned near the intersection of Windsor Street and West Market Street in Richmond about 3.20pm.
None of the children have serious injuries.
9News understands the six children had been picked up from their primary school just after 3pm and were being transported to their after school care at Little Sparkles Early Learning Centre in Agnes Banks.
“All the children managed to get out of the bus unassisted,” NSW Police said in a statement.
“A number of the children suffered minor cuts and scratches and are being treated on scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics.”
Police said the driver was taken to hospital for mandatory testing.
“Road diversions are in place and West Market Street remains closed to traffic.”
The daycare centre said the bus was fitted with seatbelts.
NSW Ambulance spokesperson Rebecca Tulk said the passengers were extremely lucky.
“It’s a timely reminder that we all wear seatbelts whenever we’re travelling in a vehicle,” Tulk said.

Susan, who witnessed the crash, told 2GB’s Chris O’Keefe that the children appeared shaken but were not injured.
“The children I can see are sort of school-aged children, probably primary school-aged,” Susan said.
She said the traffic seemed to be flowing well as it was only impacting one small section of the main street in Richmond.
The ute was taken away on a tow truck for examination.
