The authority said the school bus was believed to be on the side of the road in a gutter.

The children remained on the bus until another one arrived and the group was transferred with no injuries.

The incident was brought under control just after 9am. The CFA has two vehicles on the scene.

It comes one week after a school bus rolled in Melbourne’s western fringe, seriously injuring about a dozen Exford Primary School pupils, including one whose arm was severed.
