Sydney Bus Accident.
Just having a look at the S.M.H. website for something, and noticed a small item about a journalist being knocked over by a bus this evening , somewhere near Edgcliff. Very schetchy, not many details.

Bus knocks down journalist

A journalist for The Australian newspaper has been hit by a bus in Edgecliff this evening.
The accident which occurred about 7.15pm as the State Transit bus was turning into the Edgecliff bus depot on Ocean Road.
A man nearby, Adrian Gruzman, heard the impact: "I heard a scream and I can't say beyond a doubt there was an impact but there was definitely a sound of screaming".
Mr Gruzman ran about 50 metres to the scene and found a woman lying in the gutter bleeding from the head.
He performed first aid and, shortly after, police and anbulance arrived. The woman has been taken to St Vincent's Hospital.
Another witness at the scene, who saw the accident, said the bus had turned late.
"The bus turned very wide, definitely very wide."
The entrance to the bus depot on Ocean Road is halfway down a hill and there is little light where the bus would have turned.

Yeah the people who own Charlestown Square were not going to put in a bus interchange because "its a place where buses park overnight" but where quite happy to put in a layover area"where buses can park in between trips". They should do a bit of research before having these comments published in the paper!
