"I had another car in front of me and then we just saw the bus pretty much do a 180 and flip over on the other side of the road. It just happened really quick," Mr Chalmers said."We ripped the sunroofs off and found all these kids in the bus. That was horrible." "The kids were screaming and there was smoke and dust. And we just started pulling out as many kids as we could out of those sunroofs."Fellow tradie Dean Eastway was also driving behind the truck when the accident happened. When he reached the bus he said the wheels were still spinning.
Mr Chalmers said, "We took out all of the kids that we could. I couldn't even tell you how many, probably 30 maybe.
