A bus carrying 20 passengers crashed on Milford Rd in Te Anau yesterday morning after the driver tried to avoid two parked cars in the middle of the road.
At 10am a 42-year-old Chinese male driving a Ford Focus with one passenger had stopped in the middle of the northbound
lane when the bus came over a small hill in the road.
The Focus was travelling with a second vehicle with four adults and two children that were seeking an area to pull off the road to attend to a sick child.
It is understood that neither of the vehicles were indicating to pull left off the road.
The ALPS bus company driver pulled to the right to avoid hitting the two stopped vehicles and crossed the centre line before hitting a deer fence, causing moderate damage to the bus.
